Love it!

I have bought the apps on my Samsung and have this one on my iPhone. This update (3.0.0) is great too. <3 :)

Completely Illogical

The riddles don’t have a logical solution that can be solved with reasoning. Skip this app. They make up nonsense.

Yeah, I immediately think of popcorn when something “changes its jacket”. Don’t waste your time.

Dirty

My little sister and I have been doing all these riddles together and have been loving it... until I came across one in April that was completely unnecessarily sexual and dirty. I'm extremely disappointed that they took a kid friendly game and ruined it with on stupid riddle.

Awesome app!!!

I just finished solving all the riddles with a balance of 732 points!! My sister introduced this app to me in November and I played it in my spare time. A few times I accidentally hit clues when changing the letters around. I wonder who has the highest points! A really fun app that makes you look outside the box. Love it!!
