Riddiculous (stylized as R¿DD?CULOUS) is a British game show that has aired on ITV since 24 October 2022 and is hosted by Ranvir Singh with Henry Lewis starring as "The Riddlemaster". The show features contestants answering general knowledge questions before facing riddles from Henry Lewis.

Gameplay

Three teams of two start by answering general knowledge questions, whereby they have to be the first to press their buzzer and state the answer. After three correct answers, they have to solve a riddle.

Series 1

Round 1

Questions are worth £50. If the riddle is answered correctly is worth £100. After four riddles, the lowest-scoring team is eliminated.

Round 2

Questions are worth £100 and riddles are worth £250. This time, the teams may pick among three visual multiple choice riddles from a description, such as animals, letters or numbers; however, only one of the pair can answer the riddle. They have 60 seconds to answer the riddle. If the riddle is answered incorrectly, the opposing pair may answer it for £125.

Round 3

Questions are worth £150, riddles are worth £500, and thrown-over riddles are worth £250. After three riddles have been posed, the highest-scoring pair progresses to the Final.

Final

The winning team faces Henry's Riddle Run, where they have one minute to solve six rebus riddles to win their bank; should they do so, they may take on one further double-or-nothing rebus riddle, for which they have 20 seconds; however, if they fail to solve this riddle within the time limit, they lose all of their money and instead take home a Riddiculous themed teacup and saucer as a consolation prize.
