====== Puzzle ======
A **puzzle** is usually a question or a quiz that requires an answer by the player.

The **puzzle** pattern does not refer to the whole game but only to parts of a game. For example, a game that is about finding a thief is not considered an example of the **puzzle** pattern as a whole, but smaller challenges might be **puzzles**.

Solving or answering a **puzzle** might require from the player to
  * choose from a set of possible options,
  * provide a word or sentence as answer,
  * [[en:patterns:combine|combine]] objects, or overcome other forms of {{tagpage>challenge}}, e.g. [[en:patterns:locating|locating]] an object etc.
  * perform some [[en:patterns:primitive_actions|primitive action]].
 
Οι γρίφοι απαιτούν κάποιο συλλογισμό για να επιλυθούν ή μπορούν να προϋποθέτουν τον [[en:patterns:locate_object|εντοπισμό]] κάποιας πληροφορίας ή αντικειμένου. Οι γρίφοι μπορούν να είναι υλοποιημένοι όπως οι γρίφοι στα [[en:patterns:videogames|videogames]] (να χρειάζεται αποκλειστικά [[en:patterns:αλληλεπίδραση με τον ψηφιακό κόσμο|αλληλεπίδραση με τον ψηφιακό κόσμο]] μέσω της οθόνης της [[en:patterns:equipment|συσκευής]]). Μπορούν όμως να απαιτούν και [[en:patterns:interaction_with_the_physical_world|αλληλεπίδραση με τον φυσικό κόσμο]], π.χ. να πρέπει ο παίχτης να σταθεί σε συγκεκριμένο σημείο και χρησιμοποιήσει τη συσκευή για να δείξει προς μια κατεύθυνση.

The information that is required to solve a **puzzle** might be embedded in the physical surrounding. The player might have to [[en:patterns:interaction_with_the_physical_world|interact with the physical world]] to obtain it. The information might be attached to a [[en:patterns:digital_object|digital object]] with which the player has to interact, e.g. to [[en:patterns:collecting|collect]] it or it might require the use of a [[en:patterns:tool|tool]], e.g. in order to point to it or to perform another [[en:patterns:primitive_actions|primitive action]].
