And there are also new games appearing each day, so this means that you will always have something to play in case you get bored with a game or a site. There are so many game categories, and here are just some of them: racing games, shooting games, adventure games, role playing games (RPG), puzzle games, educational games, 3D games, sports games and so on.

A famous category are the puzzle games, and you can find this category on almost every site that is offering free online games. A puzzle game usually refers at a game that requires some intelligence and concentration. This kind of games usually require to use just the mouse, and to click on different places and items on the screen, to trigger all sorts of actions. And to do this, you will have to make some thoughts first, and to figure out where to click and what to do. The game will get more difficult as you advance and usually the puzzle games are really addictive. And probably that’s why they are also so famous. They can be played by kids, by adults in their free time or when taking a break from work, and even by old people who are looking for some fun and relaxation.

So today we are going to discuss about some mystery puzzle seek games for the PC. There are so many on the internet, so we’ll take some random ones and present them. A really fun game is called “X spot”. Your task is easy: just look on the screen and search for the image of an “X”. The game begins with a very simple level, where you have the X letter right in front of you. Just click on it to move to the next level. In the next level you will have in front of you the word “exit”. And of course there is the X in the word, so just click on it and move forward. In the next levels you won’t just have the X in front of you, you will have to click on different items, to trigger actions, and only then you will find the X. One example is: first click on a man to make him get on a plane.

Then the plane will rise up in the sky, and you will have to click again to make the person jump out of the plane. Click on him again to make him open his parachute. And just now when he gets close to the ground you will see the landing spot marked by an X. In the next level you will also have to think a little before completing it. You will be asked some questions and you have to give the answer to each one. If you will give all the correct answers, all the questions will be marked with an OK sign, and then…they will start all over again. Actually what you have to do is give a wrong answer to the question, and then it will be marked with an X. So here is your X sign…just click on it and move forward. And the levels are getting more and more interesting, so after all this is a fun and addictive game. Good luck!

Now let’s move on to another fun puzzle game, for example Bloxorz. The aim of this game is to get the block to fall into the square hole at the end of each stage. There are 33 stages to complete. To move your block around the track simply use the arrow keys, and be careful to no fall of the edges, because you will restart that level again. In many levels you will find bridges and switches. To activate a switch you simply have to step with your block over it. You don’t need to remain on a switch with your block to keep the bridges closed, it is enough to press it once.

You will find 2 types of switches: the soft round ones and the heavy x shaped switches. The soft switches will be activated when any part of your block presses them. But the hard switches require a few more pressure, so your block must be standing on its end to activate it. But not all the switches behave the same way. Some of them will make the bridges to open, and when they are pressed again they will make them to close. But others will only make a bridge to open, and you won’t be able to close it after that.

The green or red colored squares will flash to let you know which bridges are being operated. The orange tiles are a little more fragile than the rest, and if your block will stand up vertically on an orange tile, the tile will give up and your block will fall down. The third and last type of switches are the ones with this shape: (). These will teleport your block from place to place, and split it into two smaller blocks. You will be able to control these blocks individually, and when you get them one next to the other they will join back in one piece again. The small blocks are able to operate the soft switches, but they are not heavy enough the activate the heavy ones.

Also the small blocks can not complete a level, and you will have to get your entire block together to complete a level. You will be given a passcode for each level, so try to write it somewhere, so when the game is over you can play directly from that stage, rather than starting the game all over again. Just go to “Load stage”, type the 6 digit level code and you will play from that level.

After all, this is a really fun game, that will keep you busy for hours, and that will stimulate your mind and also allow you to have some fun at the computer. Enjoy it! So here were two really fun puzzle games. But as we said earlier, there are so many more others. You will probably find thousands of puzzle games on the internet, that are just waiting for you to play them. So have fun, and if you find games that worth playing, please tell us all about them. Have a nice day!
