Let us know at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:hello@riddle.com\">hello@riddle.com<\/a>&nbsp;or on support chat. We read and reply to everyone<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">February 26th, 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delayed Email Automations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve always been able to send emails when someone completes a Riddle. Now you can trigger emails based on events &#8211; the first event we implemented is when a prediction result is entered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is perfect for raffles, predictions, and competitions: set up your email once, and let Riddle send the right message to winners and losers automatically when the winner was picked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Automatic Winner Picking at a Scheduled Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No more manually picking winners at a specific time. You can now schedule exactly when winners should be drawn &#8211; Riddle handles the rest, including triggering any connected email automations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combine this with delayed emails for a fully hands-off competition workflow: create your raffle, set your deadline, schedule the draw, and let the emails fly. No need to do multiple steps anymore, everything is one workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip: Create a template with everything pre-configured to be even faster!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Improvements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Crossword RTL support<\/strong> &#8211; Crosswords now fully support right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew, opening up Riddle to a whole new audience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Answer explanation API options<\/strong> &#8211; You can now configure answer explanations to display below the question instead of as a popup, all via API. Great for teams building quizzes programmatically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rate It analytics<\/strong> &#8211; Average ratings per choice are now shown directly in block stats instead of only being visible on hover over the graph line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Expanded Google Fonts<\/strong> &#8211; Font library upgraded from ~40 to the top 100+ fonts for more design flexibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leaderboard scoring explanation<\/strong> &#8211; New textbox above leaderboard preview makes it easier to explain your scoring model to participants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simplified personality results<\/strong> &#8211; &#8220;Results: Attributes&#8221; now always uses personality strings, making setup more intuitive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;NEW&#8221; badge behavior<\/strong> &#8211; The badge now remembers when you&#8217;ve seen a feature and won&#8217;t keep showing up every time you open the creator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Performance boost<\/strong> &#8211; Resolved background processes that could cause slower Riddle load times in certain scenarios.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bugfixes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Quick Create permissions<\/strong> &#8211; Users without CREATE permission could previously access Quick Create.

You can combine Minesweeper with other minigames, ad blocks, and use it to collect leads \u2013&nbsp;just like any other Riddle block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Play an example: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.riddle.com\/view\/vD2lx6Ev\">https:\/\/www.riddle.com\/view\/vD2lx6Ev<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Riddle acquires Contentbird Convert<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve acquired <strong>Contentbird Convert (<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/de.contentbird.io\/convert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/de.contentbird.io\/convert<\/a>)<strong>,<\/strong> which allows us to offer campaign based formats (Prediction Games, Advent Calenard, Halloween\/Easter\/Valentines Day activations) alongside Riddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a first step, we\u2019ll be launching a <strong>2026<\/strong> <strong>World Cup Prediction Game<\/strong>. This product will be offered outside of the regular Riddle subscription and is designed as a standalone solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See an example: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sales-wm2026.tippspiel.fans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/sales-wm2026.tippspiel.fans<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typical use cases include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Internal<\/strong> prediction games for employees (engagement, competitions, incentives)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>External<\/strong> prediction games for audiences and customers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prediction Game can be <strong>monetized via banners<\/strong>, making it especially interesting for publishers and brands looking to combine engagement with revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested about the Prediction Game, just let us know by replying to this email or writing to us on chat. We&#8217;re happy to share more information!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaderboard improvements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve made leaderboards more flexible and lowered the friction for endusers massively. Previously, users were always required to enter their nickname and email, which then needed to be confirmed with a 2FA token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve introduced great new flexibility into the leaderboard, by not requiring either anymore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Leaderboards without 2-factor-authentication<\/strong><br>A new setting allows you to disable OTP verification entirely.<br>You can find the setting in the leaderboard settings under &#8220;Security \/ Privacy&#8221;.<br>For new leaderboards, this option is <strong>off<\/strong> by default, as we found users just use leaderboards for fun and engagement, rather than serious competitions where 2FA is necessary<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leaderboards without email addresses<\/strong><br>You can now remove the email mapping if you don\u2019t want emails to be required or displayed. This mimics and &#8220;arcade style&#8221; leaderboard, where users just had to enter their nickname.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, we made the lead handling for leaderboards easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now download all entries in one file under Leaderboard \u2192 Analyze \u2192 Download Leads. There are two possible exports that can be generated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One clean export featuring only name, email<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One export including all user data as well as a detailed breakdown of how the user&#8217;s score is put together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other improvements:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Improved lead sending to Google Sheets<\/strong><br>Increased stability and reliability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Replaced Pixie image editor with a simple crop tool<\/strong><br>Our old image editor was not updated anymore by it&#8217;s provider, meaning the possibility to add emojis and stickers to images in Riddle disappeared. But for you this means, faster and easier image editing and cropping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bugfixes:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fixed Video Player issues on iOS where videos didn\u2019t play at all anymore (due to an iOS update)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixed Live Stats in Analyze not updating correctly in some cases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cShow correct order\u201d button sometimes did not appear in &#8220;Order-it&#8221; blocks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Question Bank: chat bubble and texts no longer overlap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adobe Analytics added to &#8220;Global publish settings&#8221; tracking options<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixed inconsistent top\/bottom padding in Riddles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Analyze \u2192 Leads table header no longer turns transparent while scrolling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poll choices with media: percentage pill no longer overlaps content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixed multiple Video Player accessibility issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixed results branching logic that could lead to missing assignments and <code>-1%<\/code> values after reload<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Features &amp; Improvements Our release log is diligently updated each time we introduce new features to our quiz maker &#8211; from formats to features and new lead generation options.
