New Quiz block: Flashcards
Our new Flashcard quiz block allows you to present information in a fun, interactive way. Flashcards are ideal for:
- Learning and training – Help users memorize facts, vocabulary, or key concepts.
- Engagement – Let users flip through bite-sized content at their own pace.
- Knowledge reinforcement – Combine flashcards with quizzes to test understanding.
You can add text, images, and GIFs to each card, making them a versatile tool for educational and entertaining content. Learn more in our help center.

OAuth for Microsoft SMTP
We have introduced OAuth as a new authentication method for Microsoft SMTP. This improves security and ensures a more reliable connection when sending emails from Riddle.
Wildcard whitelisting for domains
You can now whitelist entire subdomains using a wildcard. For example, adding *test.domain.com will automatically allow all subdomains under test.domain.com.
New email customization options
We have added two new customization settings for email templates:
- Button font color
- Text font color
These options allow for greater flexibility in aligning your email design with your brand identity.
Improved project editing workflow
Now, when you edit a project, you will automatically switch to it. Any actions you take after editing will be within the newly edited project, preventing confusion and streamlining your workflow.
Other improvements:
- AI Riddles from URLs – Proper titles are automatically generated now.
- Better “Insert Form” handling – Prevents over-nesting and circular form insertions.
- Deleting individual leads – Leads that are deleted will now also be removed from the leaderboard.
Bugfixes:
- Right/wrong indicators – The result page now correctly shows the right/wrong indicators if the option is turned on. It did not work previously when the indicators were turned OFF on a block level.
- Captcha export mapping – Faulty mappings in the export fixed.
- Case sensitivity issues for leaderboards – Resolved login problems caused by mismatched capitalizations.
January 14th and January 28th, 2025
Create AI content from a URL

You can now create relevant Riddle content more easily than ever before.
Simply paste the URL of any social media post or article online and Riddle will automatically create a quiz or poll/survey from it.
This is a big milestone in our AI developments, where AI starts to lighten your workload and deliver excellent and usable outcomes for you.
Major accessibility improvements
In close collaboration with the BBC, we have accessibility-proofed all Riddle blocks.
We are happy to announce that our embeds are now fully accessible for screen readers, meeting WCAG 2.2 and EAA standards.
We have scheduled an audit with an external supplier and will provide an official accessibility statement you can refer to in the next months.
Our next goal is to also make our Creator (which is partly accessible so far) fully accessible.
Remember users
If the “Remember user” feature is turned on, Riddle will save all your user’s form entries to the user’s local storage. The data can then be used to automatically submit forms, or to prefill form fields.
This feature has two advantages:
- Your users don’t have to fill out forms over and over again.
- By writing into the user’s local storage, the data is stored in the user’s browser only. The data is stored encrypted, and cannot be accessed by any other page.

Please note: Please check with your privacy lawyer if you need to add this option to your privacy policy.
Double opt-in via SMS

You can sign up to WebSMS here.
