What is Intrcpt?

Intrcpt is a free daily riddle game in the browser. No account or download is required. Each day has five riddles, mixing wordplay and lateral thinking. Everyone gets the same set, which changes at midnight Eastern.

How to play Intrcpt

  1. Open the day's five riddles.
  2. You have 40 seconds on each. The first 20 seconds are safe.
  3. After 20 seconds, a missile hits the city every 2 seconds until you solve the riddle.
  4. Wrong guesses are free. Time is the cost.
  5. One hint is available per riddle. Using it costs a hit.
  6. At the end, check how much of the city you saved and how that compares with other players that day.

What the maker is still asking

The post asks whether the riddles are too easy or too hard, whether 40 seconds feels rushed, and whether anagrams or word ladders would work better than riddles. Those are open design questions, not settled rules. The only stated penalties are time and the hint hit.
