Best Puzzle Quest Games: Locks Worth Picking

There are puzzles you solve and puzzles you travel through. This collection is for the second kind — the 31 games on Lootara's puzzle shelf where a solution isn't the end of something but a door: the forge that finally assembles the impossible object, the sorted shelf that opens the storeroom, the merged planet that completes the system.

We favoured puzzles with momentum, where each answer hands you the next question in a better place. Ordered by quality; the top of the list is where the cleverest contraptions live. Think slowly, click once.
