RiddlePals
Riddles that work because one word means two things. Hear one, pick the answer, then flip the card to see the meaning you missed. Then make your own riddle from set pieces and try it on a grown-up. Ages 6–8.
▶ Play it nowBuilt for sittings of about 15 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.
