This game series constantly has you thinking critically. Sophisticated because it examines and challenges both what a game is and ought to be, and what reality is and ought to be, via unfair game rules that mirror real world unfairness and injustice.

I greatly encourage everyone to try 999, it is definitely a smart game.

It hides something much deeper that has basically changed the way I see things in my life and how I live in society. But the game is infinitely more than most other games only people who have played it can understand what I mean by it. You have to point and (touch)click your way through the puzzles and the text, every time learning more and more. Escaping means that they have to find the door numbered 9.Įvery time you enter a door, puzzles ensue. They have 9 hours to figure out a way to escape before they all die. The premise is that 9 people are stuck on a sinking ship, they all have numbered watches that serve as keys to unlock numbered doors.

This catalog of 'smart games' was compiled from responses to this post.
