What is a “Riddle”?

Each session of The Strange Forgeries generates numerous drawings that players label as either “Original” or “Fake,” depending on whether they follow a hidden rule. This makes them a type of Bongard Problem, a unique kind of puzzle. These puzzles can also serve as components in my other games, such as The Bestiary, The League Of The Extraordinary Collectors, or The Auction Of The Greater Fool (a bonus game included in The Strange Forgeries). Each new puzzle introduces a fresh challenge for players, so the more we create, the more enjoyment we bring to them.

How To Print The Riddles

In the shared folder, you’ll see two files for each riddle:

  • .pdf: This file has every drawing and its corresponding Solution. It is in A4 format. Make sure to print on both sides (flip on the long edge).
  • _Score.pdf: Print this double-sided on A4. It folds into a tuckbox to hold the riddle. Warning: it contains the solution, so watch out for spoilers!
