Click an answer in the email above, or get the real email further down. Your vote arrives as r_s in the page address, and the poll continues with question 2.
What just happened
One click in the inbox, one vote in the Riddle.
01
Every answer is a link
The email holds the first question. Each answer links to the page with the Riddle, plus ?r_s= and the answer's number: 0 for the first, 1 for the second.
02
The page passes r_s on
The Riddle embed script reads the parameter from the page address and hands it to the Riddle through the data layer. No code on your side.
03
The Riddle counts the vote
With “Submit first block via data layer” switched on, the Riddle submits that answer for block 1 and opens question 2. The vote counts in your stats like a click in the Riddle.
Build it yourself
The email links and the Riddle settings.

One link per answer, all pointing at the page where the Riddle is embedded. The number is the answer's position, counting from 0, so keep the answer order fixed.
