About the game

What you do in a play session

Ricochet is a word game that can be played solo or cooperatively, featuring a series of riddles that challenge your ability to associate ideas. The story revolves around secret agents on a wild mission, with each of the 30 riddles representing an incomplete dialogue. Your goal is to uncover the last sentence of that dialogue. To do this, you need to eliminate 20 to 22 words from a grid containing 25 words. The remaining words, when read in order and aloud, form an auditory rebus that reveals the missing sentence. It's a quick game, with matches lasting between 10 and 20 minutes, and it tests your creativity and linguistic reasoning. Perfect for those who enjoy brain challenges and engaging stories.
