How to play Riddle Rally

1. Get your car into the game

One person in each car is the captain. Everyone else joins as a passenger. All phones in the car share one game: the same riddle, timer and score.

1. Install Riddle Rally from the App Store or Google Play.
2. Captain: tap Create a team, enter your name and mobile number, pick a team name and a car colour, and add a photo of your car if you like. You get a car number and a 6-digit team code.
3. Invite the crew: tap Share next to the team code and send the link on WhatsApp. Passengers tap the link, and the app opens with the code already filled in. They only add their name and number.
4. Passengers without the link: tap Join with a code and type the 6 digits.

2. Start the race

When the organizer opens the rally, the lobby shows Ready to start. Until then the button reads Waiting for organizer.

1. Anyone in the car taps Start the race and confirms.
2. The clock starts for the whole car, and the first riddle appears on every phone in it.
3. Each car has its own order of checkpoints, so following the car ahead won't help.

3. Riddles and hints

The Race tab shows the riddle for your next checkpoint. Tap the speaker to have it read aloud for the driver. Hints unlock with time, so nobody stays stuck forever:

The ring around the timer shows how long until the next hint. Exact times can differ per event; the app always shows the countdown.

4. Scan the marshal's QR code

Every checkpoint has a marshal in a Riddle Rally tee holding a QR code. That scan is your proof you made it.

1. Park safely, then on the Race tab tap Scan checkpoint.
2. Allow camera access the first time.
3. Point the camera at the marshal's QR code. It checks in automatically.
4. You see your leg time and how you solved it, and the next riddle unlocks on every phone in the car.

6. Flash quests

Organizers drop surprise photo challenges during the rally, like “Team photo with a chai kulhad”. Each one has a timer and a bonus.

1. Open the Quests tab → Flash quests. Live quests show the time left and the bonus, for example −2 min.
2. Tap the quest, take the photo and send it. It shows Under review.
3. An organizer checks it. Approved takes the bonus off your time; Rejected means you can try again while the quest is live.

7. Road bingo

The Quests tab → Road bingo has a 5 × 5 card of things you might see on the way: a vintage car, a street dog, a traffic cop, a wedding band…

1. Spot something on the card? Tap that square and photograph it.
2. The organizer approves it and the square turns green.
3. Every complete row, column or diagonal of approved squares is a bingo line and takes time off (1 minute per line by default).

8. Lucky draws

Some marshals carry a special Lucky Draw QR. Find one, scan it exactly like a checkpoint (or type its code), and a treasure chest shakes open:

The result is applied to your time straight away. Each lucky code works once per car. Organizers can add their own prizes, so your event may have surprises.

9. The leaderboard

Open the Board tab any time to see every car live: checkpoints cleared, race time, and who has finished. Your car is highlighted.

• The top three stand on the podium.
• Awards: Fastest Car, Riddle Masters (most Genius solves), Bingo Champs (most bingo lines) and Lucky Draw King.
• The Team tab shows your own breakdown: driving time, bonuses, penalties, and every leg.

11. Safety, messages and help

• The driver drives. Riddles can be read aloud; passengers handle the phone.
• Follow traffic rules. There is nothing to gain from speeding: arriving too early costs time.
• Organizer messages appear at the top of the Race tab with a sound: blue for info, yellow for alerts, red for urgent ones (with an alarm). Tap to close.
• Breakdown, flat tyre or emergency? Team tab → Call or WhatsApp the organizer.
• At the finish, head to the meeting point shown in the app for the prize ceremony.
