	Riddle Game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The Game is used by Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit as a way to barter to escape from both the goblin tunnels and from becoming a tasty morsel for the creature Gollum.
		Bilbo eventually outwits Gollum at the Riddle Game, from whom he must escape anyway when Gollum chases him through the tunnels.

	Lora's Computer Game Reviews: Fun Role-Playing/Adventure Games for Busy People
		This French adventure game is marred by a rigidly linear plot and a number of interface problems, but the delicately haunting plot and fascinating characters make it fun to play just the same.
		Somehow Riddle of the Sphinx manages to combine the worst of the "graphic" adventures of the 80's (the ones that were really text adventures with badly drawn pictures appended) with the worst of the Myst clones of the 90's.
		This game is so low-budget it might be campy fun if it were less pretentious and had a vaguely tolerable interface, but it isn't, and it doesn't.

	Four Fat Chicks -- Riddle of the Sphinx Review
		Riddle of the Sphinx plunges you into all of it and pushes it to the max.
		The game does have some weaknesses—you'll be taking too many notes and screenshots, you can't drop unnecessary items from the inventory, you'll notice that Jeff Tobler can't act—but the awesome graphics, constantly changing, elaborate environments and intriguing puzzles easily overcome those frustrations.
		Just as the first puzzle in Gil's tent has many layers, the entire game peels off layer upon layer until at last everything results in the objects and clues you need to open that iron door in the Sphinx.

	Tea Leaves: Puzzles
		I play a lot of games (video games and otherwise), and I enjoy a good puzzle when I come across one in that context, but personally I'm much more interested in the narrative of a game than in the mechanics of any specific puzzle therein, as this series of articles demonstrates.
		There's the "tribute to Gollum Riddle Game" (complete with riddles taken straight out of The Hobbit), where the player faces the overwhelmingly daunting task of being asked a riddle that is easy to begin with and then has to choose the right answer from a list.
		The puzzles were so transparently artifices that they actually destroyed my immersion in the narrative of the game, and I had to spend a few minutes after each one re-acclimating to the game world to recover what the puzzle took away.

		Part of the appeal of riddles lies in its form and in how it is used in different cultures.
		"A riddle is a traditional verbal expression which contains one or more descriptive elements, a pair of which may be in opposition; the referent of the element is to be guessed." [from Robert A. Georges and Alan Dundes' "Toward a Structural Definition of the Riddle" in Journal of American Folklore].
		Another definition is from Jan Brunvand, who writes that "folk riddles are traditional questions with unexpected (albeit traditional) answers---verbal puzzles (although some involve writing) that demonstrate the cleverness of the questioner and challenge the wit of the audience."
