Welcome to GRiddles

At G-Research, puzzles have a habit of appearing everywhere. GRiddles is a competition inspired by that culture. If you enjoy getting stuck, thinking sideways and coming back for another go, you’ll probably feel at home here.

Tackle the unsolved puzzle

The third GRiddles series is now live, with a new set of increasingly challenging puzzles to take on. Series B is nearly complete, but there’s still time to tackle the final puzzle, with an extended deadline and £3,000 up for grabs. Series A is now closed, but you can still explore the original puzzles and take on the challenge.
