About Riddle School 4
Riddle School 4 is the fourth installment in the Riddle School series, a collection of point-and-click adventure games focused on puzzle-solving and escaping absurd school scenarios. The game takes place in “Riddle University” and follows the protagonist, Phil Eggtree, in what turns out to be a dream sequence leading into the next game.
The game opens in a classroom at Riddle University, where Phil is seated among other students. His teacher, Mr. Munch, has secretly built the school atop a volcano and rigged a trapdoor under Phil’s desk as part of a plot to eliminate him. Any interaction from the player triggers Mr. Munch to activate the trap, sending Phil plummeting into a spiked lava pit below. Phil screams as he falls and ultimately “dies,” but this is revealed to be a dream, transitioning directly into the events of Riddle School 5.
How to play
- Interact in the Classroom: Once in the classroom scene, use your mouse to click on any object, character, or area (e.g., the desk, students, or teacher). This is the only “puzzle”. any click triggers the trap.
- Watch the Cutscene: Mr. Munch activates a hidden button, opening a trapdoor under Phil. Watch as Phil falls into the lava pit, screams, and the game ends with a “Game Over” screen.
- Post-Game: There’s no way to “win” or escape in the traditional sense, it’s impossible by design. After completion, you unlock special features like concept art or hints toward Riddle School 5. Proceed to play the next game for the full story continuation.
