What Is a Riddle?
A riddle is a statement or question having a double or hidden meaning, a puzzle waiting to be solved. There are two types of Riddles: enigmas, which are usually expressed in a symbolic language that require you to think carefully for their solution, and conundrums, which are questions whose answer is or involves a pun. Riddles usually refer to the subject indirectly by all sorts of figurative language.
Did you know that the earliest riddles were presented as ancient oracles in mythology and folklore?! They were used to enlighten and exercise the minds of the youth.

To Start
The youngest player goes first. Once players figure out the order of play, they choose a level of difficulty (easy, medium, or hard) and the riddle is read by the player to their right.
To Advance
The players need to solve the riddle correctly before they move up according to the difficulty level of the card.
Easy– advance 2 spaces
Medium– Advance 3 spaces
Hard– Advance 4 spaces
Battle: If 2 players land on the same gray space at the same time, what must the players do? Battle for the space! When two or more land on the same gray space on the board, the players will battle each other by playing brain, hand, and mouth. This is like rock, papers, scissors SHOOT.

THE RIDDLER
* Disclaimer: Brains not included.

With each riddle, players are allowed 2 guesses to get the correct answer.
Riddle Cards: In order to move a space, players must answer one of these riddles correctly. If a player cannot answer or answers incorrectly, the riddle can be guessed by someone else who chooses to steal the riddle. This player is only allowed 1 guess. If no one decides to steal the card or does not have the correct answer, the answer can be read and the card be put aside.
Teasers: (bonus) If players happen to land on a Teaser space, they must draw from the Teasers card pile, and follow what the card says and return the card to the pile. This kind of space will improve your standing in the game with added bonuses. (these cards are green, blue, yellow, red)
Brain Freeze: (+ 2 spaces) To pass onto the second question mark, players must answer a Brain Freeze question correctly on their next turn in order to proceed. When the players answer a Brain Freeze correctly, only then can they move up 2 spaces, but if they cannot answer or answer incorrectly, the players remain on Brain Freeze until they can answer a riddle correctly on their turn. Unanswered cards return to the pile.
