Riddle School is a Newgrounds flash game series created by JonBro (now known as Jonochrome) following a boy named Phil Eggtree trying to escape numerous grades of school, and later on, a number of environments.The game is inspired by Tom Fulp's Pico's School, which is the reason the first game is a point-and-click adventure game which takes place in an elementary school, Though there are considerably less guns here; Riddle School opts to follow a relatively less extreme story by having the main character not shoot up the place and instead just try to get out of school through some strange puzzles.Riddle Schools 2, 3, and 4 have practically the same mechanics to the first and follow a very similar plot line with our titular main character finding his way out of middle school, high school, and college, respectively. Riddle School 5 changes the stage from school to an alien space ship in an unexpectedly complicated series of events. Riddle Transfer sets up the stage to a sequel series of games by JonBro; the series's original plans were scrapped, but it ended with its second installment on May 25, 2016— the first game's tenth anniversary.Later Jonochrome made a Riddle School Legacy edition of all of the games that makes the games easier. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Riddle School (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Not only does Phil talk to himself a lot, but he sometimes speaks directly to the player. This is especially evident during RS5 when clicking a poster, which has Phil tell the player that he assumes they can read as everything he says is in text bubbles. | |

Dying to Wake Up: The events of Riddle School 2-4 are revealed to be All Just a Dream induced by aliens that have abducted the main protagonist, Phil, and his friends. In Riddle School 5 where he wakes up, Phil only got out because he "died" in the previous game, and in order to wake up his other friends, he has to enter their dreams and kill them to successfully free them from their sleep. | |

Wave-Motion Gun | |
| Riddle School (Video Game) / int_263bb4ec | comment |
Zack Kelvin was cursed with constantly being cold, to the point where in Riddle School 2 he actually freezes, and can even be killed in Riddle School 5 as a result of this. Fortunately after his cold genes are used to fire a Wave-Motion Gun to freeze Viz's ship, he is freed of his condition and no longer cold. He does have a flame coming out of his head constantly after this, but it doesn't hurt him and gives him the ability to sneeze fire. And as the Photo Album shows, he grows up to become a waiter at a successful restaurant. | |

Mythology Gag: The combination to Richy's locker in RS3 is "BLOBBLES". It's actually 53788078. Read it upside-down. Blobbles is the name of the protagonist of some early Flash animations JonBro made. Looking at the clock in RT2 will have Phil debate if it reads 5AM, 5PM, or HAM. | |

Extremely Short Timespan: According to Miss Cophey, the main cast had gone missing for a few days since Phil set off the time-stopping mine all the way back in 1, meaning that the plot as a whole took place for about less than a week. | |

However, he does a Heel–Face Turn, after which Diz reveals himself as the true villain of the entire series who was Playing Both Sides to take control of Vizion for himself. | |

Easter Egg | |
| Riddle School (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: As alluded to by one of the books in the library, beating 3 twice in a row leads to possession by Monkey Doll. In 5, typing 1337, 1492, 2012, 9000, and 9001 on the keypad all have programmed responses from Phil. Entering 1337, 2012 or 9001 in the keypad at the beginning of Transfer 2 causes Phil to berate the player for searching for easter eggs in such a time-sensitive moment. Right-clicking the screen anytime in 5 will make the context menu accuse you of trying to cheat. | |

Sequel Escalation | |
| Riddle School (Video Game) / int_391d6577 | comment |
Sequel Escalation: The first game was made as nothing more than Pico's School-inspired point and click that could be beaten relatively quickly and had the production values of a typical Newgrounds Flash game. With each game though, the plots got more and more intricate and the animation became progressively better. And of course that's to say nothing of the fifth game onward, which turned it from being a simple "escape school" game to a save-the-Earth-from-aliens plot. | |

Noodle Incident: While Phil will explain what happened that led to the various spills in the schools he has attended, he never gives an explanation about the spill in front of the janitor's closet in RS1. He simply tells the player that they "don't want to know what happened there". | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy | |
| Riddle School (Video Game) / int_4508b16b | comment |
The Guards Must Be Crazy: The staff in the schools Phil has gone to are rather incompetent. In RS2, Phil enters the principal's office, takes the key to the front door, and bolts... all directly in front of the principal, who just stands there the whole time. In RS3, the principal is too busy playing video games to notice as Phil swipes the key. In Riddle Transfer, not only do the Zone 5.1 Agents make very little effort to conceal the codes to open the prison cells from the prisoners, but every guard in the facility apparently gets the day off at the same time. By the time Phil had broke all of his friends out and released two of their test subjects, the guards only respond to a tripped alarm and Phil had already snuck his friends down a manhole. | |

Unwinnable Joke Game: RS4. Attempting to do anything results in Phil's teacher dropping him into a pool of lava. It was originally an April Fool's joke created because JonBro was getting sick of the games' formula. | |

Lethally Stupid: Zone 5.1 does an awful job of keeping the cell passcodes secret, with one agent even speaking the code out loud in front of the prisoner as he enters it and another code being written on the inside of the cell door. In all, the hardest one to figure out is only so because the person who wrote it down has bad handwriting. | |

| Riddle School (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: In the ending in the legacy edition of RS4, it hints that the game was all just a dream. In RT1, the CCTV monitor in Phil's cell that conveniently has his cell's keycode is a TELEVIZION brand, foreshadowing Zone 5.1's true owners. In the beginning of RT2, the portal Phil logs into conveniently has Riddle Elementary set as a destination, which the player will likely write off as Phil simply having entered that in himself. It's later revealed that Zone 5.1 is under the employ of Vizion, who had been observing the school and presumably used said portal to kidnap the kids after Phil set the time-stopping mine off. | |

And I Must Scream: According to RS4's "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue, the janitor from the second game became trapped in his closet shortly before the school closed down for good. He didn't have any contact with the outside world until the school was demolished and he died. Since RS4 was later revealed to be All Just a Dream, this fate may not have really happened. | |

| Riddle School (Video Game) / int_b47d95be | comment |
No OSHA Compliance: The first few games revolve around you having to get the key to escape because the door to outside is locked from the inside. This probably violates some sort of fire code. RS2 and RS3 are later revealed to be All Just a Dream, but the first game has no such excuse. It's confirmed in RT2 that a coffee-jacked Ms. Cophey spinning her pointer stick instantly turns her into a laceration hazard, which Phil uses to saw the lid off of a eye drops container made of stone. | |

The problem with Phred and Smiley's cells is that their cell keypads has a broken required key or outright missing. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| Riddle School (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: After escaping being trapped in a Lotus-Eater Machine and stopping the evil plans of Viz and Diz, the four main characters all get their happy endings. Phil Eggtree and Smiley Sundae reconcile after he made fun of her, and form a genuine friendship that blossoms into love. They grow up, date, and marry, with the last shot of the series being them together and happy in old age. Phred Whistler is saved by Phil and stays friends with him throughout his school years, even keeping the whistle that he gave to Phil in his youth as a symbol of their friendship. Zack Kelvin was cursed with constantly being cold, to the point where in Riddle School 2 he actually freezes, and can even be killed in Riddle School 5 as a result of this. Fortunately after his cold genes are used to fire a Wave-Motion Gun to freeze Viz's ship, he is freed of his condition and no longer cold. He does have a flame coming out of his head constantly after this, but it doesn't hurt him and gives him the ability to sneeze fire. And as the Photo Album shows, he grows up to become a waiter at a successful restaurant. | |

Forbidden Zone: In every game, the one area that is always inaccessible is the Women's bathroom as Phil always refuses to go in. However, he makes an exception in Riddle Transfer 2 given the emergency situation. It turns out to be an empty cave, with nothing but a gumball machine and a lightbulb. | |

Running Gag | |
| Riddle School (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: The quit buttons in the title screens never work. Clicking on them will not quit the game. Finally ended in RT2, where the quit button actually works. Subverted the first two games both have Phil making the same terrible pun after leaving the first room; in the third game (where the method to leave the starting room involves rendering the teacher blind), Phil remarks that his idea "wasn't very sharp at all. In fact, it was kind of blurry." Phil will always refuse to enter the girls' bathroom in the school. He finally enters it in Riddle Transfer 2. | |

You Shouldn't Know This Already: In RS5, you have to turn down a thermostat to make Phred wear your sweatshirt. If you try to do it before it logically makes sense, Phil will point out that he hasn't deduced yet that's what he has to do. | |
