Quest games are a genre centered around story-driven exploration and goal-oriented challenges. Players typically follow a narrative to complete specific tasks, missions, or objectives, often involving puzzle-solving, resource management, and character progression. These games emphasize immersive worlds, decision-making, and unfolding plotlines, with quests serving as the primary means to advance the story or unlock rewards.

What’s the difference between main and side quests?
Main quests drive the core narrative and are required to complete the game, while side quests are optional, offering extra rewards or lore.
How do I handle difficult puzzles?
Break puzzles into smaller steps, revisit earlier areas for missed clues, and experiment with item combinations or environmental interactions.
Are quest games always linear?
No—many modern quest games feature non-linear design, allowing players to tackle objectives in multiple orders or explore open worlds freely.
