In adventure games you land in a tricky situation and have to work out an escape. That might mean guiding a stickman past guards, burrowing down through soil and stone, or hunting a hotel room for the single clue you overlooked. The same skills serve you in each: check things before you act, remember the routes you have already taken, and keep your head when the passage narrows.

If sneaking and timing your moves appeal, begin with Stickman: Jailbreak Story. Obby: Dig to the center of the Earth moves at a gentler pace — a good lunch-break pick when all you want is to chip away at a hole. Hidden Object: Clues and Mysteries, meanwhile, favours a careful eye over quick fingers, which suits you when other games have worn your hands out.
