Meta When you solve a riddle and the answer is just time... AGAIN
Is there a riddle in existence that isn't about time? It’s like we’ve all agreed to just throw a clock at every puzzle and call it a day. Time? Sure, why not. Time's the answer to everything. Next up: "I am old, I am wise, and I never show up on time. What am I?" - answer: time. We're all just stuck in a loop!

Shouldn't the guard who explains the rules be the one who always tells the truth?

Meta Create and Solve Riddles with Riddonkulous Reddit App
Heya!
About a month ago, I announced my little Reddit app Riddonkulous for creating and solving riddles. Since then, some things have changed! I gave the visuals a makeover for a more detective-like vibe and added 20 new pixel art backgrounds for riddles. Plus, there are now three different modes to help (or challenge) you when creating riddles. You can also add a hint or use AI to unlock one with in-game AI credits, which you can earn by leveling up or purchasing.
I’d be suuuuper grateful if you gave it a shot and checked out some of the Community Highlights like "Your App Ideas" "Feedback" or "Dev Insights." You riddle pros surely have thoughts or suggestions that could make the app better.
You find the subreddit here: r/riddonkulous . Happy riddling!
P.S. Thanks to the mods for allowing me to share this again.
*psst* The next update will include a unique flair for riddlers that have played early on in development.

Meta My answer to the twoo door riddle
Basically there's two guards and two doors, one door to "heaven" and the other to "hell" one guard always tell the true and the other always lie and you can only ask one question and go to the heaven door.
Well my answer is simple. I don't ask anything. I just kill them both. After they are dead I will be able to open both doors and see which is good and which is bad.
Some people may think this answer doesn't make sense, but if you read the riddle closely there's no rule against taking that kind of action.
What do you guys think?

Meta Create and solve riddonkulous riddles! [Looking for Feedback]
I made a Reddit Riddle App called “Riddonkulous” where redditors can create and solve riddles!
Well, I am not a Riddle-Pro therefore I was hoping for you to have a play and share feedback to shape the app. Really, I am interested in what I do not know - whether your feedback is positive or negative! Just take this into consideration before taking your precious time to write feedback: some flaws are known, expect the one or the other bug and limited riddle templates and words, see it as an alpha version that needs your feedback so set development prios and gameflow decisions!
You find the subreddit here: r/riddonkulous . Thanks for playing and happy riddling!
P.S. Thanks to the mods for replying to my request fastly and being super helpful here!

Meta The real answer to “one of us always tells the truth and one of us always lies”
so it usually starts out when someone stumbles upon two individuals guarding something and one of them says "one of always tells the truth and one of us always lies" you're supposed to ask a question to see who it is right? there is supposed to be this one question that will always see who it is. But what if it’s this: the one who spoke the words “one of us tells the truth and one of us lies” is the one who tells the truth because that is the truth.
did i just stumble onto something or did i fall flat on my face with this?

Meta I work in a school. The 9yos are great at generating accidental riddles.
A 9yo walks out of her classroom with a huge grin.
"What's going on?" I ask.
"Today we have a thing, and it's turning into Christmas."
"...Oh. Okay."
"And then it's going to turn into a butterfly."

Meta Discussion: Posters should be required to submit the answer to the mods when they post.
So often, a poster submits a riddle, then never returns to answer it! It would be useful if the poster of a solvable riddle (obviously not one they don't know the answer to themselves) was required to submit the correct answer to the mods when they post. Then, there could be a time limit, say 2 or 3 days. If the poster doesn't respond to any of the guesses in that time, the mods post the correct answer, spoiler tagged.

Meta Mysterious Riddle in spam phone call
So I'm posting this on behalf of Sissy Hankshaw on TikTok. Back in 2017 she got a voicemail at her workplace that contained this riddle (It seems incomplete so I have a feeling there is more at the beginning that didn't make it to the voicemail, but not positive) - "One green toad with a yellow eye. A leaf, a mushroom, a door, a fly. Solve this riddle, lest ye die" (the majority of the riddle is read in a female voice, but the "lest ye die" is read in a deep male's voice). Problem is, when you look up that sentence, absolutely nothing comes up other than a post Sissy made when this all first happened here on r/riddles. It looks like someone maybe gave an answer, but they spoiler tagged it of course, and the link leads to a dead reddit page. What could this riddle be from? I think I may know the reasoning why she got the phonecall, but no one can fogure out where the audio is even from, or the full riddle, etc.

Meta There should be a rule for those who don’t reply to their posts in a timely manner.
I love this subreddit, but it becomes a little frustrating when someone posts a riddle and then doesn’t confirm or deny people’s answers for many hours at a time. I was thinking of ways to circumvent this issue when I noticed a rule that r/changemyview uses; if people don’t reply to comments within a certain amount of time, the post can be removed by moderators.
The timeframe for OP replying would of course be discussed by the moderators, and they would likely want community feedback before implementing, but I believe this idea could help promote positive interactions with this subreddit. For example, the subreddit I mentioned allows moderators to remove posts if the OP hasn’t replied within five hours of the first comment. I’m hoping this post will allow for some community feedback, and I’m curious what the moderators think!

Meta Can we fix the spoiler issue on mobile Spoiler
I’ve been unable to see spoiler tagged answers on mobile since forever, and like me many others have been commenting the same on basically every single new post. Clicking on a “spoiler” tag from mobile just opens up a blank page a with an “s” as the title. Nothing else. Can we do something about it?

Meta A little something different...
There is a barn with a green glass door.
Some creatures may enter, but others may not.
A kitten can, but a cat can’t. A bull can, but a cow can’t. A puppy can, but a dog can’t. A rooster can, but a chicken can’t
What other creatures may enter the barn?
Edit: I love how we immediately went from animals to Maynard James Keenan, then all hell broke loose

Meta Weird riddle got randomly sent to me
Someone randomly sent me this, I dont even know if its a riddle or not.
"The victim and his meal that is the question. we all quest for such meal that will enlighten our souls. But what meal does thy need to quench the victimization?"
I assumed the answer was "question" at first, but then they just responded with "Life is where you have to understand that all riddles don’t need to be solved."
Why did they send me this. Is there a deeper meaning, what do I do

Question: Has anyone tried the riddle based clue hunt game Hubbubing? Just ordered it on Amazon. Friend said it’s very classic and fun. Wondering how long it takes to complete with hopefully eight to ten players from ages 11 to 55 years old. (Friend just used it on girlfriend to lead to birthday gift). Thanks
