Did you find yourself strangely puzzling over trade tariffs earlier this week? You weren’t alone! Teuteuf Games, the creative studio behind the massively popular geography puzzle game Worldle, today playfully confessed to unleashing Tariffle, a peculiar daily web game themed around international trade tariffs, as their official April Fools’ Day jest for 2025.
Launched around April 1st, the game briefly challenged (or perhaps just thoroughly confused) players with the surprisingly intricate world of global tariffs. Leveraging the familiar daily “guess-the-answer” mechanic seen in games like Worldle (https://worldle.teuteuf.fr) and Flagle (https://www.flagle.io), Tariffle presented a uniquely niche puzzle: deciphering tariff-related data within a few tries. It was, as intended, a task perhaps only truly equipped for seasoned customs brokers or those with an unusually specific hobby.
While Teuteuf Games often aims to make complex global systems engaging (like geography with Worldle), Tariffle was cooked up purely in the spirit of April Fools’ fun. Could a game really make import/export classifications the next big thing? The studio decided the answer was probably “no,” but it was worth a laugh to find out.
“Honestly, after exploring the world with Worldle, we thought, ‘What’s something really specific, complex, and maybe a little bit dry?’ Tariffs!” admitted the team at Teuteuf Games with a collective chuckle. “We launched Tariffle hoping players would get a kick out of the sheer absurdity. We absolutely encouraged everyone not to take it too seriously – it was all about having a bit of fun for April Fools’. It was a blast to put together this little prank, but rest assured, we probably won’t be pivoting fully into tariff-based gaming anytime soon… unless this press release somehow goes viral with trade negotiators?”
Tariffle is now briefly available (and who knows, it might linger like a forgotten shipping container!) for free play. Its future is as predictable as, well, actual tariff rates.”
Tariffle is free to play and is available now on all major web browsers.
