Platform updates

v1.6.0 · August 2026

A brand new speed mode. Riddles come at you back to back with 30 seconds on the clock — see how far you can get before one beats you.

• New Quickfire mode: solve riddle after riddle, 30 seconds each, with the timer resetting every time you get one right.
• Score more for answering quickly and for using fewer guesses, with a bonus that grows the deeper into a run you go.
• Runs end when the clock beats you or you use all six guesses — then the answer is revealed and your run is scored.
• New all-time Quickfire leaderboard showing everyone's best run, with your own position pinned if you're outside the top ten.
• A fresh set of riddles every run, so you can keep playing and keep pushing your record.

v1.5.0 · August 2026

Your profile now shows how you really play — not just how many riddles you've solved, but how consistently and efficiently you crack them.

• New performance stats on your profile: solve rate, average guesses, first-guess wins, clutch solves and a 30-day consistency score.
• Animated guess distribution chart showing how often you solve in one guess, two guesses, and so on.
• Efficiency score rewards fewer guesses and steadier play.
• Challenge scoring now rewards the top three teams each day: 3 points for 1st place, 2 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd.
• Challenge invites use a single link that attaches the challenge to your account automatically.

v1.4.0 · July 2026

A brand new reward economy for registered players. Solve riddles to earn gems, then spend them in the shop to protect your streak. Gems and streak freezes are only available to users with registered accounts.

• Earn gems every time you solve the daily riddle — the fewer guesses you use, the bigger the reward (30 gems for a first-guess win, down to 5 for a sixth-guess win).
• An animated reward appears on the completion screen so you can see exactly what you earned.
• Streak freezes are now buyable in the shop for 300 gems. A freeze automatically covers a missed day so your current streak survives.
• Frozen days show a blue indicator on your profile, and a snowflake badge appears beside your name on the leaderboard when you have a freeze ready.
• Top up your gem balance from the gem store with packs from £2.50 up to £20.00.
• Gems and streak freezes are only available to users with a registered account. Guest players can still solve riddles and join challenges, but will be prompted to sign up before they can collect or spend gems.

v1.3.0 · July 2026

Team challenges got smarter scoring, clearer statuses and easier day-to-day management.

• Daily points are now awarded automatically to the fastest team each day, with no dependency on every team finishing.
• Tiebreakers added: fastest time, then fewest guesses, then who finished first.
• Teams that never opened a riddle show as “Not started” instead of DNF, and a new “I give up” option records a DNF properly.
• Hosts can edit a challenge start date and the whole riddle schedule follows it.
• Completed challenges open the standings by default and celebrate the winning team.

v1.2.0 · June 2026

Better streak tracking and a leaderboard that tells you where you stand.

• Streaks now count any attempted riddle, win or lose, so taking part is what matters.
• A flame badge marks players with an active streak.
• Your own position is always shown at the bottom of the leaderboard, even outside the top 10.
• Failed riddles now reveal the answer on the results screen.

v1.1.0 · May 2026

Create private riddle challenges, invite friends or colleagues and compete as teams.

• Host a challenge with AI-generated riddles built around any theme.
• Invite links, team creation and a shared team play page.
• Live standings with per-day results and completion times.
• One team per player per challenge, for both signed-in and guest players.

v1.0.0 · April 2026

One new riddle every midnight. Six guesses. One word.

• The daily riddle with six guesses and letter-by-letter feedback.
• Player profiles with current streak, best streak and total solved.
• A global leaderboard and the ability to submit your own riddles.
