Riddle Quiz Maker
Evidence tier: documentation. Riddle Quiz Maker was not installed or measured on the live WP Quiz Showcase bench. The claims below are sourced from its WordPress.org directory entry and official marketing pages, not from a working local demo.
Identity and official links
- WordPress.org slug:
riddle-playful-content-on-the-go— Riddle Quiz Maker – easily add quizzes with unlimited lead generation to your site - Official site: https://www.riddle.com/quiz-maker/
- Pricing page: https://www.riddle.com/pricing/
- Class: Hosted SaaS integration. Authoring happens on Riddle’s servers; the WordPress plugin embeds the created content.
wordpress.org metrics (captured 2026-08-03)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Version | 4.7.4 |
| Active installs | 300 |
| Rating | 92 / 100 (9 ratings) |
| Last updated | 2025-12-09 |
| Tested to | WordPress 6.9.5 |
| Requires WP | 4.0 |
| Requires PHP | 7.4 |
These numbers come from the directory snapshot only; they do not imply the plugin was activated or exercised locally. The candidate-pool snapshot records a maintenance/trust score of 6.05 / 10 and a known-weighted score of 60.5 / 100, both derived from API fields rather than live use.
Pricing and source
No SaaS account was created for this audit, so no plan price is recorded. The vendor’s pricing page is the authoritative source. The plugin itself is free to install from wordpress.org, but the service it connects to is freemium or paid depending on usage and feature tier. See the licensing and value notes for the showcase rule that excludes SaaS-dependent products from the live roster.
What the vendor claims
- Riddle markets itself as a quiz, personality test, poll and survey maker aimed at marketers, publishers and lead generation.
- It positions itself for engagement, lead capture and “unlimited lead generation” from embedded content.
- Because the authoring layer is SaaS-based, quiz data and result handling live outside the WordPress install.
These claims are taken from the vendor’s own materials; they have not been confirmed by a live benchmark.
Standard Ten coverage
No Standard Ten questions were authored in Riddle. Coverage for Q1–Q10 is therefore not applicable for this documentation-tier entry. See the live-bench plugin pages for measured coverage of the same question set.
Runtime measurements
Not applicable. No Riddle quiz was loaded on the showcase bench, so there are no transfer-size, request-count, jQuery or DOM-node measurements.
Signature feature walkthrough
Not applicable. The service’s signature marketing features—such as personality quizzes, lead-generation forms, polls and surveys—are documented on the official site but were not demonstrated locally.
Catches and caveats
- SaaS data boundary: Quiz content, responses and analytics are stored on Riddle’s infrastructure, not in the WordPress database. This affects data ownership, GDPR workflow and export portability.
- Small install base: 300 active installs and only 9 ratings mean the WordPress.org social-proof signal is thin compared with the live-bench roster.
- Not a locally authored quiz plugin: It does not fit the project’s installable-local roster rule, which is why it was placed in the documentation tier.
- No live proof: Every capability claim above is vendor-sourced. It should not be read as a verified free-tier feature set.
Why it is documentation tier
Riddle Quiz Maker was evaluated as a challenger during research. Its directory health is modest and, more importantly, the SaaS authoring model places quiz data and logic outside WordPress. Under the project’s rule that only free, locally installable, locally authored quiz plugins receive a live subsite, Riddle remained in the documentation tier.
Verdict
Riddle Quiz Maker is a plausible option for teams that want a hosted, marketer-oriented quiz/poll/survey service embedded into WordPress. It was not proven on this bench, so treat the vendor claims as planning input rather than verified performance. If local data ownership, a fully self-contained WordPress quiz, or a large, well-tested install base is required, choose one of the live-bench roster plugins instead.
