Riddle School 4 is a 2010 game that was made by JonBro (Jonochrome) and is the 4th installment of the Riddle School series. While it was believed at the time to be an April fool's joke, JonBro (Jonochrome) would later confirm that this was not true. 24 hours after releasing the game, RS5 was released, showing the entire plot.
Plot[]
In Riddle University, Mr. Munch, Phil Eggtree's teacher, has planned to eliminate him for quite a while before the events of this game occurred. To do so, he made a trap under Phil's seat, which will send him down into a lava pit with spikes sticking out of the walls. Interestingly, Mr. Munch was the person who wanted Riddle University to be built on top of a volcano in order to carry out the plan. In short, whenever Phil reacts to something (clicking on anything), Mr. Munch immediately presses a red button hidden under his palm, activating the trap. The rest of the game features Phil falling into the lava pit, screaming until he finally lands, waking him up from his dream and leading straight to the plot of Riddle School 5.
In the legacy edition of RS4, it has a little short scene at the end hinting at it was all a dream. "accessing, Accessing failed, Phil Eggtree offline, dream chair logout detected, beginning transmission."

There are only two teachers know to be employed at Riddle University, Mr. Munch (Phil's teacher and killer in his dream), and Mr. McMaster, who is briefly mentioned in RS5 by Phred after Phil lies to Phred in his dream to kill him, the same way he died in RS4.

Trivia[]
- This is the first game to present special features after completion.
- Diz appears in this RS game, wearing a grey shirt and black pants. This is later referenced when Diz explains how he got Phil killed in his own dream.
- On the desk in front of Phred Whistler you can see 5, who has been seen in previous RS games up until this point.
- RS4, along with RS5 and RT2 are the only games in the RS Series where Phil’s mouth can physically be seen.
- RS4, along with RS5, are the only games in the series where a character’s voice is audible. Specifically, Phil Eggtree’s voice is audible when he screams in fear before being plunged into a pit of lava. The same happens with Phred Whistler in RS5 within his dream when Mr. Munch mistakes him for Phil and plunges him into the pit of lava instead, where his scream can be heard instead.
