Puzzle
A genre of games that is based on classic tabletop logic games, puzzles, etc. To complete levels, players are required to "flex their brains." Additionally, speed, accuracy, and good reaction are often needed. Such games include both classic puzzles and more complex projects in terms of gameplay (mind-breaker games).
