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\">June 18th, 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Guess it, fully redesigned<\/strong>: Image &amp; Text modes, smarter hints, and self-scoring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flashcards self-scoring<\/strong>: let your audience grade themselves and see how everyone did<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interactive Graphic, leveled up<\/strong>: new hotspot types, outbound links, CTA buttons, and rich media in popups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fully automated giveaways<\/strong>: schedule a raffle and let Riddle draw the winner for you<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Confetti<\/strong>\u00a0on every quiz,\u00a0<strong>continuous or segmented pagination<\/strong>\u00a0on every Riddle, and more<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A batch of bugfixes &amp; improvements across Interactive Graphic, Guess it, Personality, emails and more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Guess it: Full Redesign<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guess it has been rebuilt from the ground up. You can now run it in&nbsp;<strong>Image mode<\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>Text mode<\/strong>, depending on whether you want players guessing from a picture or from words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hints are the big upgrade. They&#8217;re now merged into one clean flow where you can&nbsp;<strong>lock and unlock<\/strong>&nbsp;hints and reorder them with simple&nbsp;<strong>drag &amp; drop<\/strong>, so you control exactly what your audience sees and when. After guessing, players use the new&nbsp;<strong>self-scoring labels<\/strong>&nbsp;to mark how they did, and there are several new options to fine-tune the experience. (We&#8217;ve also retired the old &#8220;Fact type&#8221; setting to keep things simpler.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Flashcards: Self-Scoring Flow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flashcards now work the way studying actually works. Your audience taps&nbsp;<strong>Reveal<\/strong>&nbsp;to flip the card, then marks&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;I got it right&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;I got it wrong&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;themselves. You&#8217;ll see the&nbsp;<strong>audience percentage<\/strong>&nbsp;for each card, so everyone can compare how they did against the crowd, and you can fully&nbsp;<strong>customize the button text<\/strong>to match your tone or language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Interactive Graphic: Leveled Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Interactive Graphic block just got a lot more powerful. You now have more ways to place and shape hotspots, and far more control over what happens when someone interacts with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few of the new capabilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>More hotspot types<\/strong>: classic\u00a0<strong>Dots<\/strong>, plus\u00a0<strong>Circle<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Rectangle<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Area<\/strong>\u00a0shapes to cover larger regions of an image<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>New hotspot actions<\/strong>:\u00a0<strong>Open an external URL<\/strong>\u00a0(send people straight to a landing page),\u00a0<strong>Navigate to the next block<\/strong>\u00a0(e.g. lead users directly to a lead form), or\u00a0<strong>No action<\/strong>\u00a0to simply show a hover label<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Richer info popups<\/strong>: add\u00a0<strong>CTA buttons<\/strong>\u00a0and drop in\u00a0<strong>multimedia and audio<\/strong>\u00a0assets, not just text<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Precise placement<\/strong>: control hotspot\u00a0<strong>coordinates and size<\/strong>\u00a0for pixel-perfect layouts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Show hotspot numbers<\/strong>: a new block option to number your hotspots so audiences know where to start<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anywhere you&#8217;d normally need a designer and a developer to build something interactive, you can now do it in the Riddle editor in minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Fully Automated Giveaways<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running a raffle no longer means babysitting it. Set an end date and Riddle will&nbsp;<strong>automatically draw the winner<\/strong>&nbsp;when the time comes. On top of that, there are new&nbsp;<strong>email events<\/strong>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Raffle finished&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 so you can automatically notify both the&nbsp;<strong>winner<\/strong>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<strong>losers<\/strong>&nbsp;the moment a draw completes. Set it up once, and the whole giveaway runs itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>A Few More Things You&#8217;ll Notice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Confetti<\/strong>: every quiz can now celebrate with a confetti moment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pagination style<\/strong>: choose\u00a0<strong>Continuous<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0<strong>Segmented<\/strong>\u00a0pagination on any Riddle, depending on the flow you want<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;Show total stats before voting&#8221;<\/strong>: let your audience see the running results before they cast their own vote<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leaderboard bad-word filter<\/strong>: nicknames are now automatically screened, so your public leaderboards stay clean<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;Remember user via cookies&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0has been expanded \u2014 it now covers localStorage and Flashcards too\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Interactive Graphic<\/strong>: Area hotspots (circle\/rectangle) are no longer incorrectly grouped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interactive Graphic<\/strong>: hotspot media now respects the &#8220;Original ratio&#8221; setting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interactive Graphic<\/strong>: drilldown images now allow the &#8220;Open external URL&#8221; action<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interactive Graphic<\/strong>: info popups with media now show the back button over the image<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Bugfixes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Riddle emails<\/strong>: a fix for notification emails that weren&#8217;t rendering perfectly for some customers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Guess it<\/strong>: answer explanations now show up immediately<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Answered Block<\/strong>: the correct\/wrong message no longer appears twice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Personality Quiz<\/strong>: no longer shows more &#8220;Other personalities&#8221; than you configured in some very rare instances<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">May 12th, 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Block: Interactive Graphic <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.riddle.com\/view\/2ByRPxvZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A brand new content block that lets you turn any image into an interactive experience. Drop in a graphic, place markers wherever you want, and your audience can click each one to reveal text, images, or extra context \u2013 all without leaving the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few ideas for what you can build with it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Editorial deep-dives:<\/strong>&nbsp;Break down a tactical football formation, a movie scene, an infographic, or a historical photo, point by point<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Product showcase:<\/strong>&nbsp;Annotate every feature of a new product or hardware diagram<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interactive maps:<\/strong>&nbsp;Travel guides, festival maps, store locators, event venues \u2013 let users tap any point of interest to learn more<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Real estate \/ venues:<\/strong>&nbsp;Make a floor plan or stadium layout clickable, with details for each room or section<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Education:<\/strong>&nbsp;Anatomical diagrams, scientific illustrations, historical maps \u2013 any image that benefits from layered context<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shoppable lookbooks:<\/strong>&nbsp;Tag every item in a fashion shot or interior photo with a link<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s one of the most flexible blocks we&#8217;ve ever shipped \u2013 anywhere you&#8217;d normally need a designer and a developer to build something interactive, you can now do it in the Riddle editor in minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcd6 Full guide:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.riddle.com\/help\/content-creation\/blocks\/other-content-blocks#_3-interactive-graphic\">https:\/\/www.riddle.com\/help\/content-creation\/blocks\/other-content-blocks#_3-interactive-graphic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faster Embed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Riddle embed has been overhauled for speed. The laggy moments and long response times that some of you reported are gone \u2013 embeds now load and react noticeably quicker across the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Publish Actions for the Question Bank<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Question Banks just got easier to actually use. Until now, after building a question bank you had to navigate over to a Riddle, edit it, and manually link the bank in. Small friction, but enough to slow things down when you&#8217;re spinning up multiple quizzes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the new publish modal, the moment you finish a Question Bank, Riddle asks where you want it: pick an existing Riddle from the list, or create a brand new one in the same flow. Your bank is wired up immediately. Great if you maintain a central pool of questions (e.g. a weekly trivia, a product knowledge quiz, an evergreen question library) and regularly need to plug it into fresh Riddles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Homepage Hero \u2014 and Why We Changed It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next time you log in to Riddle, you&#8217;ll see the new homepage hero section on riddle.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason for the refresh: AI is reshaping how people find content. Search traffic is shifting, organic reach is harder to win, and one-time visitors don&#8217;t stick around the way they used to. That&#8217;s exactly the problem Riddle solves \u2014 embeddable quizzes, polls, minigames, and interactive content that turn passing readers into daily active users who return, engage, and drive revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old hero didn&#8217;t put that promise front and center. The new one does. It speaks directly to the challenges publishers and content teams are dealing with right now, and shows \u2014 with real product visuals \u2014 how Riddle helps you build daily active audiences even as the rest of the web fragments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you ever send prospects, colleagues, or your boss to riddle.com to explain what we do, the new homepage should make that conversation a lot shorter.<\/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>This\/That Poll:<\/strong>&nbsp;Smoother embed animations, more default choices in the Creator, and data is now properly forwarded via webhook<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>New embed setting &#8220;Allow full-screen videos&#8221;:<\/strong>&nbsp;Some browsers used to block full-screen video playback inside embeds \u2013 toggle this on and that restriction is gone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>TypeRush:<\/strong>&nbsp;Better default template when you &#8220;Create from file&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stats\/Leads delay warning:<\/strong>&nbsp;If our stats or leads queue is backed up, you&#8217;ll now see a warning in ANALYZE so you&#8217;re not left wondering where your data is<\/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>Riddle emails:<\/strong>&nbsp;Some notification emails weren&#8217;t rendering at all for certain customers \u2013 we&#8217;ve shipped a fix<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stat transfer:<\/strong>&nbsp;When a Riddle is transferred between accounts, its stats now travel with it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Homepage:<\/strong>&nbsp;Several accessibility and performance bugfixes on riddle.com<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wheel of Fortune:<\/strong>&nbsp;Mute icon on Android is fixed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Embed Placeholder:<\/strong>&nbsp;Now shows a proper &#8220;no tags created&#8221; message when there are no tags<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Quiz:<\/strong>&nbsp;Skipped questions are no longer incorrectly &#8220;locked&#8221; when navigating with the back button (no more unknown error)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Type-the-Answer:<\/strong>&nbsp;Fixed empty\/missing entries in Answered Blocks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Predictor:<\/strong>&nbsp;Alt text is now saved correctly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Magic Link:<\/strong>&nbsp;Resolved login issues where users couldn&#8217;t log in seamlessly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lead export:<\/strong>&nbsp;Empty form fields now correctly show &#8220;(n\/a)&#8221; instead of &#8220;1&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Quick Create:<\/strong>&nbsp;Fixed scrolling on the default templates in the CREATE screen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minigames:<\/strong>&nbsp;Correct skip events are now sent for all minigame blocks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Security:<\/strong>&nbsp;Patched security issues in frontend packages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">March 17th, 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Poll Block: Tier List<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S-Tier, A-Tier, F-Tier \u2014 you&#8217;ve seen them everywhere on TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Now you can create your own Tier Lists on Riddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your audience drags items into customizable tiers, ranks them their way, and can share their personal ranking as an image \u2014 driving organic reach and repeat visits.

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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, we made the lead handling for leaderboards easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.
