When we were talking about riddles as clues, I knew there was a game I'd loved that used that but couldn't remember until now...
It was Forgotten Riddles: The Moonlight Sonatas. There was also Forgotten Riddles: The Mayan Princess (I didn't love that one as much).
The riddles were simple, I'll grant you, but it was such a different concept than I'd played before that I really enjoyed it.

orionsrose , I have a cool fun fact about Forgotten Riddles, actually I have a bunch of fun facts about Stephen Zhao from Blue Tea Games. No one ever attempts morphing objects like Stephen was able to master. The fact that you have to trigger an object to morph in the current scene by doing something in a different scene was mind-blowing. You are clueless as to what action triggered the morph so you had to keep going back to the previous scenes to search for a morphing object, not to mention how unusual the objects were that morphed, and how you had to stare at the scene intensely just to find them (especially when you weren't sure if you had triggered the morph!) I won't lie, I have begged sevensails to give it a whirl but my HOPA dreams are dwindling and I'm stuck with Do Games Blue Tea Games fun facts: *Blue Tea Games is a casual game development company founded by Steven Zhao who had been building games since the age of 13. He created several independent commercial games in 2002 to support himself through college, he was just 18 when he founded Blue Tea Games. *It only took a 10 minute conversation with a friend to come up with the name Blue Tea Games. Steven wanted a unique name that had something someone would be willing to try. (Steven did try Blue tea and says it tastes like old newspaper mixed with licorice) *Steven's favorite game developed was Forgotten Riddles, a game based upon one of his favorite childhood past-times, solving Riddles. *Forgotten Riddles contains 1500 unique Riddles to solve, Blue Tea Game's Artist, Shawn is responsible for about 95% of the riddles because he won the contest held, creating ingenious Riddles in the quickest amount of time. *Steven believes that having a publisher creates a barrier between Blue Tea and the customer (perhaps his reason for selling the franchise?) *Steven Zhao loved getting feedback, "Your compliments let me know I’m doing a good job, but your suggestions and criticisms help me grow and become a better developer" *In 2015, Stephen Zhao sold Blue Tea Games and the Dark Parable series to Eipix Entertainment to pursue a virtual gaming company called Sandbox VR.

Besides FROGS or Fragments and Putting Objects Back Into The Scene, one of my favorites is where you're given two pictures, like a shoe and a horse, and you have to guess what to look for. I obviously chose an easy one: horseshoe. Or the opposite, you're shown the horseshoe and have to find a horse and shoe.
I don't know if that's an option in the poll because I don't know what it's called, but I love those ones!
