Here's everything you need to know to beat Riddle School 4, plus how to beat the RS4 dream segment in Riddle School 5.

Complete Riddle School 4

  3. Mr. Munch will press a button, and Phil will fall through a hole in the floor and into a volcano. This is the only ending available in Riddle School 4.
    • In the cutscene, you see the following text:
      • Phil's teacher, Mr. Munch, was the original architect of Riddle University. The school was built above a long pit of lava that he himself had dug near an active underwater volcano. His plan to murder Phil Eggtree, to forever rid him of this world, succeeded. And no one cared. Every other student of Riddle University eventually died, from car wrecks, old age, and unforeseen disasters. Each one, on their deathbed, whispered their final wish: "Please don't let there be any more Riddle School games."
    • It will end on the following quote by JonBro:
      • "Just as every book has a start and a finish, a series must have a beginning and an end. I deliberately sucked all the room for another sequel out of this series so that it, too, may end."
