A style of game where the player must click on something to earn points, which they spend on upgrades to increase the number of points they earn per click, or to increase the number of points they earn over a period of time without clicking.

Focused on imparting a skill, lesson, or piece of information to its player that would be helpful to them in other aspects of life, such as a faster typing ability or knowledge about a period in history.

A subgenre of the adventure game, point-and-click games typically involve interacting with background objects, talking to non-player characters, and using an item inventory to solve puzzles that allow the player to progress through the story.
