How about a riddler or puzzler?
M-W:
riddle: a mystifying, misleading, or puzzling question posed as a problem to be solved or guessed
puzzle: a question or problem that requires thought, skill, or cleverness to be answered or solved
A riddler is one who speaks in riddles [TFD]. A puzzler is a person that puzzles [TFD].

I did search on the internet for "Puzzler". The results are showing "something that is difficult to explain or understand". – Shiva Nov 15 '16 at 05:54

Consider sphinx. In allusion to the mythical, riddle-asking beast, this term can also be used for persons who ask puzzles. For example, from OED:
A person characterized by some quality of the Sphinx; esp. one who propounds or presents a difficult question or problem.
