Riddler, one of the more popular gaming sites on the Web, will remain part of parent company Interactive Imaginations, according to chairman/chief executive officer Michael Paolucci.

The situation came to a head two weeks ago, following acquisition interest in Riddler by Berkeley Systems (via parent CUC International).
