Description
Dragon Riddler is a procedurally generated word puzzle adventure set in a classical heroic fantasy world.
Qui aurum draconis quaerunt, parati sint resistendi eius malis.
Sed qui debiles sunt, peribunt tamen.
Esto audax! Esto fortis! Obviam ire draconi!
English Translation
Those who seek the dragon's gold, let them be prepared to resist its evils.
But those who are weak will perish nonetheless.
Be bold! Be strong! Go and face the dragon!
As an adventurer, you seek dragon gold and wander through dangerous lands in search of the beast’s lair. On this journey you overcome obstacles, defeat monsters and survive treacherous events. Once the lair is discovered, a deadly word duel begins. Victorious, you grab the treasure and then make a decision: do you retire with your riches, or get some upgrades and challenge an even more fearsome dragon?
History
After my previous game, Words of Yendor, I wanted to explore a different idea for a word duel system, so in July 2024 I started working on what became Dragon Riddler.
The demo was published on 20 April 2025, and I’m currently working on this project.

About SandorHQ
SandorHQ is an ongoing experiment of Sándor Szigeti, a veteran game designer and IT professional hailing from Hungary, Europe. After designing and publishing the cyberpunk tabletop role-playing game “Armageddon 2092 – Mars” in 1995, it certainly took him a long time to start making computer games, but with so many interesting, quality project ideas it’s only a matter of time before they become reality for everyone to enjoy.
