The term refers to a specific category of online puzzles and problem-solving activities available on a particular website. These games typically involve navigating virtual environments, discovering clues, and solving riddles to “escape” from a digital room or scenario. A user might, for example, need to decipher a coded message hidden within an image to unlock a virtual door and progress further in the challenge.
Such activities provide a stimulating and accessible platform for developing critical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving skills. Historically, they represent an evolution of point-and-click adventure games, adapted for a web-based and often educational context. Their widespread accessibility allows a broad audience to engage with these cognitive exercises, potentially improving skills applicable in various academic and professional settings.
