Scope and purpose
These terms concern riddlegardenrange.com, published under the name Riddle Garden Range. The site offers informational articles and recreational, crime-free fictional exercises. It provides no professional investigation service, legal advice, psychological assessment or validated cognitive-training programme.
Our original characters, dialogue and case events are fictional. Any resemblance to actual people or events is unintended. Photographs are illustrative and do not identify their subjects as participants in the fictional scenarios.
Permitted use
You may browse, use the local tools, share links and discuss the exercises for personal, noncommercial purposes. You may read an exercise aloud in a noncommercial reading or teaching group if you identify Riddle Garden Range as the source and do not present the work as your own.
Except where applicable law permits otherwise, republication, distribution of copied materials, commercial adaptation, sale or inclusion in another collection requires permission from the relevant rights holder. This limited group-use permission does not grant a licence to redistribute photographs or other third-party material.
Intellectual property and references
Original editorial content and site presentation are protected to the extent provided by applicable law. Third-party names, titles, marks and images remain subject to their owners’ rights. Naming an author, institution or technical standard is for identification and context, not an endorsement claim.
Riddle Garden Range is independent and is not affiliated with the authors, estates, museums, organisations or standards bodies mentioned. No ownership of their works or marks is claimed.
Responsible participation
Use the site and correspondence facilities lawfully. Do not attempt to interfere with availability, introduce malicious material, impersonate someone or send abusive content. Do not use a fictional exercise as a reason to inspect another person’s belongings or private communications. Real people are not puzzle props.
If you send a suggested correction or interpretation, send only material you are entitled to share. Please do not send confidential information. Contacting the site does not guarantee publication, adoption of a suggestion or a response within a particular time.
Tools, availability and accuracy
The search and story run in your browser. The correspondence tool produces a draft only; you remain responsible for reviewing it and sending it through your own email service. Copying and downloads depend on browser permissions and capabilities. No progress-saving or backup service is provided.
We aim for fair, clear explanations but do not promise that every puzzle has a uniquely determined answer or that every page is error-free. Content and features may change or become unavailable. Keep your own copy of a draft if you need to retain it.
Limits and statutory rights
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the site is provided without a guarantee of uninterrupted operation, fitness for a particular purpose or a particular recreational outcome. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for fraud or any other non-excludable obligation, or limits mandatory consumer rights.
These terms do not designate a jurisdiction or impose an arbitration process. Applicable legal rights and remedies remain available. Questions about permitted use can be sent to [email protected].
