The Lens of The Puzzle

Puzzles make the player stop and think. To ensure your puzzles are doing everything you want to shape the player experience, ask yourself these questions:

• What are the puzzles in my game?
• Should I have more puzzles, or less? Why?
• Which of the ten puzzle principles apply to each of my puzzles?
• Do I have incongruous puzzles? How can I better integrate them into the game?
