There are people in the world who live to always be challenged mentally; they always want to test and to prove just how much they know. Because smartphone has become a necessity for people nowadays, a riddle app is definitely the easiest way to get your brains in gear.

Gummy Crush, LLC is the developer of Riddle Me That! Gummy Crush, LLC is a new developer when it comes to Apple apps, but with their newest app, they have secured their position as one of the best app maker in the country. As of July 2013, Riddle Me That! is actually the number one most popular riddle game available in the Apple App Store.

Both the user interface and the font used are very engaging, but the colors and the design used are, admittedly, looks a little bit childish. Although, it is important to note that both the user interface and fonts are very clean despite it, making the app very easy to navigate through.

For a low price of $0.99, you can download Riddle Me That! and enjoy countless of mind-boggling riddles to solve. Usually a paid app will deter a lot of people into downloading an app, but for this instance, it is very much worth it.

As you open the game, you will find the riddle to be solved in the middle of the screen. There are blank spaces in which you will input your answer, and there are also random letters found at the bottom of the game’s screen to help you solve the riddles. As you get the right answers to every riddle, you are given the corresponding points or coins in reward.

In the middle of guessing the correct answer, if you find yourself unsure of your guess, you can always click on the trash button found at the right side of the screen to trash your current answer. This option would entitle you to have the chance to guess the correct answer again.

As with every riddle app, there is a help option to guide you in answering the riddles. Clicking on the top hat button found at the right of your screen will show you the different hints that you can use. You can either choose to have a couple of letters removed from the given letters below or allow the app to fill in one letter from the blanks to make it easier for you to answer the riddle.

If you still find yourself unable to answer it, you can click the other button available in order to ask for other people’s help. The app is connected to different social media accounts including: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. For this option, you can post screenshots of the riddle that you are working on, and ask your friends or followers to help you answer the riddle. Consequently, you can also use this option to challenge your peers.  Lastly, if you get really stuck, you can find all solutions of this game on www.itouchapps.net.

Though it is a paid app, surprisingly, there is still a lot of pop up advertisements that keeps showing up as you play throughout the game. The ads are present and will pop out every time you have successfully solved a riddle, once you click on the ad, it will automatically open the App Store. It will then take several minutes before you can go back to the app itself, and continue on with the game. This is probably the only negative point in Riddle Me That!

Riddle Me That! requires an iOS 4.3 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It has also been optimized for the iPhone 5. It can be downloaded at the Apple App Store: itunes.apple.com/us/app/riddle-me-that/id669377544?mt=8.
