The Who Behind WhoRiddle

What started as a simple parenting hack has grown into something much bigger.

Our founder, a busy physician and research institute founder, began writing original “Who Am I?” riddles for his young children during everyday moments. In the car, at the end of the day, or anytime they needed something to focus on.

But something unexpected happened.
They leaned in.

They started thinking, guessing, asking questions. Solving riddles together quickly became something they looked forward to.

Sharing that sense of curiosity, connection, and just a little challenge is the why behind WhoRiddle.

  • As a high school student, I never thought I’d be into riddles, but WhoRiddle totally changed that. The app has a ton of different themes to choose from, so there’s always something new and fun to solve. The riddles are just the right amount of challenging and exciting. Now I find myself playing every day—and I can’t wait to see it everywhere.

  • Our kids absolutely love WhoRiddle! We couldn’t be happier with it. It’s the perfect mix of fun, learning, and excitement. They love solving the riddles, and we love how it builds their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It’s become a favorite family activity, and we often work on them together. The content is engaging, age-appropriate, and keeps them entertained for hours. It’s so satisfying to see their confidence grow as they solve each challenge. Highly recommend for families looking for something that’s both educational and fun.

  • What I love about WhoRiddle is that it’s a game you can play together anytime, anywhere. You’re not just handing your phone to your kid—it creates little moments of quality time, even sitting at the doctor’s office or waiting in line. Great fun, and I love the idea of the in-person experience too.

  • We look forward to the weekly riddle every week (and all the new ones they’ve added). My two daughters (4 and 6) ask for it daily. Highly recommend!

  • Extremely well-made game. It’s challenging, but it feels so good when you figure out the answer each week. One suggestion: it would be great if the answer was revealed at the end of each week.

  • We love WhoRiddle! Waiting for dinner, sitting at a doctor’s appointment, or when my kids say “What can I do?”—WhoRiddle is the answer. I love playing alongside them, and sometimes I even get to shout out the answer first!

  • I enjoy this app so much. WhoRiddle makes solving weekly riddles really fun, and the riddle library is perfect for family time—especially on road trips. Highly recommend!

  • My five-year-old daughter and I play for 5–10 minutes every day, and it’s become one of our favorite little routines. It’s led to more conversations, more connection, and honestly—I’m amazed at how much her vocabulary has grown. She’s thinking critically in a way that feels way beyond her age, and it’s been really fun to watch.

You can try to fight screen time… or you can work with it. Most kids are already spending hours a day on devices. That part isn’t changing overnight. But what can change is what they’re doing during that time. Simple things that
Most parents ask, “How was your day?” And get “fine” back. Try this instead. It takes 10 seconds …and somehow turns into a full conversation. Kids love figuring things out. They just need something fun to respond to. S
