Siirtopelejä

Siirtopelejä, a Finnish term roughly translating to "transfer games" or "move games," refers to a category of puzzle games where the core mechanic involves moving or sliding pieces to achieve a specific goal. These games often require strategic thinking and spatial reasoning. A common example of a siirtopelejä is the sliding tile puzzle, where a set of numbered tiles is arranged in a grid, and the player must slide them into their correct numerical order.

Another type of siirtopelejä involves moving objects to clear a path or reach a target. This can include games where players push blocks to open doors or guide a character through a maze by manipulating the environment. The complexity can range from simple, single-screen puzzles to elaborate multi-stage challenges.

The appeal of siirtopelejä lies in their accessibility and the satisfaction derived from solving a logical problem. They are often found in digital game formats, but physical versions have also existed for a long time. The term encompasses a broad spectrum of logic puzzles unified by the fundamental action of repositioning elements within a defined space.
