I've known this site for a while, but since there were no English versions, I never thought to link it here. There are now an English and French version of the site.

It is an excellent riddle site that has about 92 riddles right now (the site keeps getting updated).

The riddles are in an increasing level of difficulty, though usually if you break a difficulty "tier", you can get the next few riddles quite easily. Exemples of "difficulty tiers" are like the 2nd, 3rd and 4th levels where they ask you to do things you might not expect in this kind of riddle game. But once you notice that this game isn't quite like the others, it becomes easier.

All the riddles have 3 or more hints that leads to the answer:
An image
A "clue" button (sometimes the clue is necessary to complete the riddle)
Another information, like the page title.

You have to solve the riddle to go to the next level, which is slightly harder than the last.

Personally I'm still on level 13 because I keep forgetting about the site when I get home. I cannot complete the 13th level in the noon break at my job because media downloads are blocked...

There are a few levels that made me think a quite long time. It took me about a day to catch where they were trying to go with the level 5... And I had to think a bit for level 2 and 3. Level 4 was one of the easiest levels though...

After that you kind of catch the drift and can complete the next 5 levels in a few minutes... But I've seen some of the higher level riddles and some are profoundly difficult!

There seems to be some quite easy levels among the harder ones. I forgot the level, but in the one about "satanic messages" I've understood under a second what I was supposed to do.

I was about to post asking if people were trying it, because I've been stuck on level 15 for quite a while (the level with only a rabbit in the middle of a white page).

Then I remembered that the hints can be anywhere, and I got it!

Level 16 now.

Level 14 was very easy and I think level 16 is easy too, just long.

Nice game but, I couldn't even figure out the first level...!

I posted a game similar to this game a while back, the name of the game is Mage's Maze (http://magesmaze.50webs.com/). It is a very interesting game and the rules are quite like the one you posted. I never got really to far on Mage's Maze either, just a few levels. There is one difference though in Mage's Maze to the game you posted, in Mage's Maze they provide a space where you can type in your answers.

Yeah, like I said Ouverture-Facile is quite special in that how you are supposed to answer is part of the riddle.

Level 1 should be straightforward. Dont forget that all the riddles are in flash and that many of them are interactive.

Level 1 hint is really the answer: Dig the brain (or in this case, the hair).

Level 2 is already quite special since the big part of the riddle is how you are supposed to answer at all. Once you get this one you kind of get how this game works and you do quite a few levels in a row without problems. Except that I've been stuck on level 3 for a while...

Now I'm on level 16 that seems to be one of those easy riddle that is more a jigsaw than anything.

Stuck on 2. Think I've pretty much worked it out. I've done the main thing, but then nothing happens (hard to describe without giving it away to others).

EDIT... Found a website with the answers to the first 10 puzzles. Man, some of those are ridiculously hard. Especially if you're not a computer geek.
