📝 About the Game

I have keys but no locks. I have a space but no room. You can enter, but never go outside. What am I?

Riddle Me This isn't just a quiz; it’s an endurance test for your brain. Featuring a massive pool of 250 hand-picked riddles, your goal is simple but brutal: Answer 50 questions in a row to win.

One wrong answer? Game Over.

Set against a polished pixel-art backdrop with retro sound design, this game combines the pressure of a TV Game Show with the depth of a completionist RPG.
