What is Fawazeer?

Fawazeer (فوازير) is a free Arabic riddles mobile game for iOS and Android. The app ships 2,500+ riddles across 11 themed packs, with three play modes: solo daily riddles, Majlis (multiplayer with friends joining from a browser), and Duel (ranked 1v1). Interface in Arabic, English, and French; content always in Arabic.

What is a fazoura?

A fazoura (فزّورة) is the singular form of fawazeer — a short Arabic riddle or wordplay puzzle with a hidden answer. The tradition spans centuries, with classic fawazeer shared in family gatherings, the storytelling majlis, and Ramadan evening sessions across the Arab world.

What is Majlis mode?

Majlis mode opens a multiplayer room with a 4-digit code. Up to 8 friends join from any phone browser at fawazeer.app/m/CODE — no installation, no signup, no account. The host plays from the app; guests play from the web. Rounds run five riddles with live leaderboards and on-screen reactions.

What is Duel mode?

Duel mode is 1v1 ranked play over five riddles. Players are matched on an ELO ladder; winning grants ladder points and a rematch share link. Friends without the app play the duel in their browser at fawazeer.app/i/TOKEN. The server is authoritative on scoring — the client never decides correctness.

How do Fawazeer's themed packs work?

The 2,500+ riddle catalog is organized into 11 themed packs: general riddles, proverbs, animals, food, science, history, geography, sports, world cultures, entertainment, and technology. Each pack is fully playable offline. A separate "passport" setting (Gulf, Levant, Egypt, Maghreb, Pan-Arab MSA, Francophone, Global English, Universal) selects the regional dialect flavor.

What are regional passports?

A passport is your content region — independent of the interface language. The eight passports (Gulf, Levant, Egypt & Sudan, Maghreb, Pan-Arab in MSA, Francophone, Global English, Universal) flavor the riddle catalog with regional dialect, idioms, and references. You can run a French interface with Moroccan content, or an Arabic interface with Gulf content.
