Riddle Cubes is a browser-based puzzle game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. Think 2 player and puzzle — that is the shape of it. No account, no install and no plugins — just the game in a browser tab.
About Riddle Cubes
Solve the mystery puzzle of the ancient riddle cubes. Play against your friend (in local versus mode) or against an AI and put as many cubes of the same color in line as possible.
How to play Riddle Cubes
There is very little to learn before your first run. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. There is no penalty for failing, so push a little harder than feels safe.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Select and drag pieces |
| Left click | Confirm a move |
On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.
Why it is worth playing
