If we're thinking educational with a touch of adventure, might it be the Adventures of the Book of Virtues? It was oriented around life lessons with some problem-solving, although not quite riddled with riddles. This is gonna bug me now, I gotta figure out what show you're talking about, too!

I'm pretty sure it's not Carmen Sandiego right? That was more about geography and chasing down criminals across the globe. Although educational and had puzzling elements, the focus wasn't strictly on riddles.

Hold up, y'all remember Square One Television? That show was from the late 80s, but reruns went into the 90s and it was ALL about math and stuff. Each episode had these mini segments that totally felt like riddles and puzzles. Mathnet was the bomb—detectives using math to solve crimes. Maybe your show took a leaf out of their book?

Are you certain it wasn't just your mom giving you puzzles to keep you busy while she watched her soap operas? lol sounds like a cheap way to avoid buying video games 😂

ugh i totally know what you're talking about but can't remember!! its right on the tip of my tongue 😖

dude, this is bringing back Saturday morning cartoon vibes, the days when TVs were as thick as a dictionary lol. you might be thinking of something like Mystery Hunters or Ghostwriter? Educational but on regular channels, not just educational ones. they had the puzzle-solving element down pat!

This sounds so familiar, like I can almost picture the intro... Wasn't there a show called Cyberchase that aired on PBS? It had these three kids and a bird solving problems in a digital world. Not straight-up riddles all the time, but definitely educational and puzzle-based.
