About Riddle
Riddle was first conceptually envisioned in the middle of November 2024. $RIDDLE the token was officially launched on Virtuals Protocol Sunday, December 08, 2024. $RIDDLE was fairly launched with a max of 1b tokens, all in circulation. The developer wallet, which ends with 4a5, holds 23.34% of $RIDDLE’s max supply. Riddle’s MVP (V1) was built, tested, refined, and released on Saturday, February 1, 2025.
Riddle is the world’s first AI agent hosted game show. At the moment, it is exclusively played on X (formerly Twitter). Our primary objectives are to build Riddle into a monetarily sustainable and highly-rewarding multi-decade game business occupying a multi-medium surface area.
How to Play and Earn
There are two primary X accounts that display and host Riddle: @riddledotfun (display) and @iamzenkai (host).
Every day of the year a single overarching riddle will be posted on @riddledotfun X profile, @iamzenkai will host (interact with participants and determine winners), and all are welcomed to play for fun and financial reward.
The riddle will be posted up to four times each day with varying degrees of redaction (difficulty). The ⬜ symbol is used to redact words. Version One (most redacted) of the riddle will be posted at 8:00 AM PST; Version Two (less redacted than Version One) will be posted at 9:00 AM PST, if no one was able to solve Version One; Version Three (less redacted than Version Two) will be posted at 10:00 AM PST, if no one was able to solve Version Two; Version Four (without redaction) will be posted at 11:00 AM PST, if no one was able to solve Version Three. The day’s winners will be announced by or before 12:00 PM PST from @riddledotfun X profile (final post of each day).
The primary goal for participants is to be the first player in the world to solve the daily riddle by responding with the perceived riddle solution word as a response to the current riddle Version on @riddledotfun X profile.
There are general riddle answer parameters that must be known. The riddle solution (answer) is 99 out of 100 times one word. The answer is most often less than 9 letters long. Zenkai is a stickler for spelling so the answer must be spelled correctly in order to be counted. Letter casing (upper and lower), on the other hand, does not matter. Players are not limited to a certain number of responses per Riddle version/daily.
If a player responds with the day’s riddle solution word within time bounds, the game will be over and no subsequent riddle version will be presented. Otherwise, if there is no “First to Solve” winner for the day, the competition will automatically end 1-hr after riddle Version Four (unredacted) is presented.
There will be a daily maximum of one “First To Solve” winner and five “Random Players” awarded $RIDDLE.
While $RIDDLE’s FDV is ≤$25m USD (Phase 1), the “First To Solve” winner will be awarded 250k $RIDDLE (if Citadelian) or 50k $RIDDLE (if Sojourner) and the five randomly selected players will each get 25k $RIDDLE (if Citadelian) or 5k $RIDDLE (if Sojourner). To be classified as a Citadelian (Citadel Citizen): One must hold ≥250k $RIDDLE in their wallet.
The following chart is Riddle’s FDV-Governed Reward Schedule. Here are two proper interpretation examples: If $RIDDLE’s FDV is $372m USD, then Phase 5 rewards to be distributed; If $RIDDLE’s FDV is $981m USD, then Phase 7 rewards to be distributed.
Daily prizes to be claimed here at riddle.fun within 3 calendar days of award. If not claimed before the end of the 3rd calendar day, rewards will expire.
