Puzzle Games
Whenever you are bored and you want to do something that is both fun and stimulating for your mind, then you can choose to play a free online flash game. But not just any kind of game, because some of them are just funny or silly but they won’t stimulate your intelligence. The games that are “good for your brain” are the puzzle games. Even though they have very simple controls (usually you have to use just the mouse to point and click) they can be quite tricky and they will require a lot of thinking and concentration.

There are a lot of puzzle games, of many kinds, and some of the most famous seem to be the point and click games. Usually in these games you are trapped in a room and you will have to click on different place on the screen, find different objects and combine them in such a way to trigger actions that will finally get you out of the room.

A site offering just games like this Is http://www.pointnclickgames.com/ . You will find hundreds of games here, and the most of them (486) are “escape games”. There are also 137 adventure games, 76 point and click, 33 puzzle games and 29 scary games. So you will definitely have where to choose from, and you won’t get bored for a long time.
Since Valentine’s Day was close, let’s choose a escape game with this topic. One of them is called “Lover’s room escape”. Your objective is to prepare a gift and a romantic dinner for your lover, and then try to open the door so that he / she can come in and enjoy the dinner and the gift. After beginning the game, just click on all the possible place on the screen to find useful objects. From the first view of the room collect the necklace that is found under one pillow, and the beams found on the table and one the drawers.
Then just press on one of the arrows found on top of the screen to move around the room. If you go right, you will find some more beams on the table and you can also collect 2 plates. The nice thing about this game is that the mouse cursor will change its shape whenever you point at an useful object. So this way it is easier for you to find objects in the room.
As you advance you will have to use the objects that you have found…for example the key to open the drawers, then use the bottle opener to open the champagne, and then put it in glasses and so on. It is not such a difficult game compared to other escape games, and after a few minutes of clicking and searching you will manage to make all the preparations and open the door to your lover. Good luck!
Now let’s play a game from the “scary games” category, and we’ll choose the one called “Exmortis 3” which seems to be a really famous game from this category. In this game you will explore stunning environments (that are not recommended for children), solve complicated puzzles and interact with many characters. The graphic of the game is quite advanced and that’s why it will take a little time for the game to load.

It is much more complex than other flash games, having a story, characters with voices and other elements. If you play the game for the first time, the guide from the beginning of the game will be very useful. It will take some time to learn the game instructions and secrets, but after that it will be fun to play. These were just 2 examples of fun online puzzle games, but there are hundreds or even thousands of other games. So just search for them, play them, and if you liked them share your opinions with us.
