Key takeaways

Makermint turns a written riddle idea into a playable 2D browser game in a few minutes.
You can request trick questions, visual puzzles, logic deduction, or daily challenges.
There's no built-in multiplayer, share a link so friends can compare how they did.

Riddle games reward lateral thinking over knowledge. Unlike trivia, a riddle's answer is always right there, you just have to look at the problem differently to see it. Games like Brain Out and Brain Test turned trick questions into a viral mobile genre, mixing visual puzzles, logic deduction, and questions that play on your assumptions.

A Makermint version runs as a 2D game in your browser. Describe the kind of riddles you want, a trick-question collection, a visual puzzle you tap and drag, a logic deduction challenge, and Makermint builds the riddle logic, hint system, and progression to match, ready to play in a few minutes. Ask for subtler hints or a harder set, and try the next version right away.

How it works

  1. Describe your game

    Tell Makermint the riddle game you have in mind. A brain-teaser collection with trick questions, a visual puzzle you interact with, a logic deduction challenge, whatever fits. Plain English is all it takes.

  2. Makermint builds it

    Makermint generates the riddle logic, visual puzzles, hint system, and progression for your game, along with a title screen. Most versions are ready to try within a few minutes.

  3. Play and iterate

    Play the game right away in your browser. Ask for changes in plain language, like "make the hints more subtle" or "include more visual puzzles", and try the update immediately.

  4. Publish and share

    When it's ready, publish your riddle game. You get a link to share with anyone, and you can post it to the Makermint community for others to play.
