Hero’s Adventure: Road To Passion – Old Woman’s Five Riddles, Confucian Sect, Exams & Cake of God

Hero’s Adventure: Road to Passion features a few exams and riddles for you to answer, but these are deeply based in Chinese culture so they’re quite hard for most foreigners to grasp.

This is a Chinese game that draws heavily from the Wuxia genre, after all! It’s something most people outside of China aren’t very familiar with.

In this guide, we’ll give you a cheat sheet of sorts for you to use as you answer all of these exams and riddles!

How Riddles & Exams Work

The questions for the exams and riddles in this game are largely randomized, with a few picked out from a large pool of questions every time you attempt one of these events.

As such, you will rarely get the same questions over and over! It also means that not every question might be present in this guide.

Also be aware that the main exams are taken at the Government Office in each city.

As for the format of this guide, we will list out the question prompts and give you a number. The number is the answer you need to pick in dialogue, from top to bottom.

For example, if we say “3”, then you need to pick the third answer from the top. It’s simple enough, right?

With that in mind, let’s now dive into the answers for these exams and riddles!
