RIDDLE SCHOOL

IMPORTANT! DON'T PRESS ANY KEYS ON THE KEYBOARD!!


After several months, I've finally returned to Newgrounds with a new game! This is very much like Pico's School, I know, but it inspired me to make this. The menu music is by Pepsileo and the rest is by Cheshyre.

In a few days I'll come up with a walkthrough if anyone needs it, but the answers to each puzzle are really painfully obvious.

Also, I know that as you advance through the puzzles, it becomes less and less like a school. It's a low budget school, so it kind of has to.

Enjoy!

Riddle School is a series of point and click Adventure games by JonBro, currently known as Jonochrome. It is a tribute to the Newgrounds classic, Pico's School, as the layout and gameplay of Riddle School are extremely similar to Pico's School.

Riddle School 1[]

RS1GamePlay1

General and typical gameplay of Riddle School. Note the similarities between it and Pico's School.

Design[]

The main character is a student who wants to escape the school. As in Pico's School, the player starts in a classroom on the left end of the school, encounters a locked door, and must go up and down the hallway and enter rooms in order to find items, interact with people, and progress through the game. Unlike Pico's School, there is no fighting.

Presentation[]

The game distinguishes itself from Pico's School in the presentation. The graphics in Riddle School are even more cartoony and less detailed than the one's in Pico's School and lack noses, mouths, and ears. The game uses the same soundtrack as Madness Combat 6: Antipathy.

Reception[]

Riddle School has been fairly well received on Newgrounds. Since release, it has had over 910,000 views and is featured in the Adventure Games collection, despite not winning any awards.

The average Review is 8.4/10. It received 5 sequels due to it's success. (Not counting RS4)As of 2016, JonBro has created an ending to the series named Riddle Transfer 2.

Bugs[]

If the player presses any keys on the keyboard after the intro, the game will restart. (This is actually an intended feature, which was included to prevent cheating. It was removed in the Legacy Edition version)
