Recommended for kids and adults! Here are 10 riddle ideas that will refresh you when you solve them.
Riddles are easier to crack when you loosen up your thinking and approach them flexibly, right? This time, let’s take on riddles that feel satisfying to solve.
For example, there’s a question like: “It’s gas, but what kind of gas comes out after using the toilet?” Hints are available, but each question has a 10-second time limit! Give them a try!
What vehicle do you pedal and pedal but end up going back and forth in the same place?
When you row a boat or pedal a bicycle, you move forward, right? But the answer to this riddle seems to be something that goes back and forth in the same place no matter how much you push.
The key to solving it is to focus on “going back and forth.” If you’re an elementary school student, that phrase might make something click.
Here’s a hint: the park.
Think back to your time playing at the park—there was a fun piece of playground equipment that goes back and forth! That’s right, the answer is a swing.

What do you hold while eating rice?
Something you “hold” while eating… A busy mother might hold her child while eating something safe even if it’s dropped, but normally you don’t hold anything in your arms during a meal, right? So no matter how much you think about what you could hold while eating, you won’t reach the answer.
The key to solving this riddle is to recall what you always do during a meal, and to try expressing “dakko” (to hold/hug) with a different word.
The correct answer is “ita” (board)! Because you say “ita, dakimasu”—a pun on “Itadakimasu.”
No matter how many times you call it, it never answers—what is it?
If you call your dad or mom, your teacher or your friends, they all answer you, right? But in this world, there are things that won’t respond no matter how much you call them… What are they? The answer is something you all know well.
The key to solving this riddle is to focus on the hiragana word yondemo.
First, try converting it to kanji.
If you try different options like 呼んでも (even if you call) and 読んでも (even if you read), you’ll arrive at the answer.
By the way, the correct answer is “a book.”
What is something that won’t break no matter how much you try to break it?
Have you ever had the experience of dropping something and breaking it? As the saying goes, “Anything with form will eventually break,” and glass or pottery will most likely shatter if you drop it.
But there are things in this world that don’t break even when you split them! In fact, they aren’t objects.
If you’re an elementary school student, isn’t there something you split during class? With that hint, you’ve probably figured it out.
The answer is “division.”
What gets smaller the bigger it gets?
The bigger it gets, the smaller it becomes… What does that even mean? you might wonder.
“Getting bigger” and “getting smaller” are opposites, and something that gets bigger doesn’t become smaller.
What we need to consider when solving this riddle is how to interpret “bigger.” In this puzzle, “bigger” means “growing.” When you grow, isn’t there something that becomes smaller? You probably experience it often when the seasons change.
The answer is clothes! As your body grows and gets bigger, the clothes you wore last year become too small and no longer fit.
