[[Puzzle Quest]] is a series of games from Infinite Interactive. At their base, they are [[Match Three Game|Match Three Games]] with [[RPG Elements]]. In each game, battles are fought by matching up various gems and other symbols on a grid.

The player can expand their power
The games in the series include:
* '''Puzzle Quest: Challenge Of The Warlords''': The first and most popular game in the series, based on the award-winning ''Warlords'' series of [[Real Time Strategy]] games.<br /><br />There are four classes, each of which with different priorities for the different gem types. For example, the warrior focuses on dealing more damage with skulls while the mage uses mostly red mana. Character stats more or less correlate with each of the gem types, increasing their effect when matched up.<br /><br />Except for your home city (which is already under your banner), all main cities on the map can be captured. This enables you to access a keep in that city, where you can train mounts, research spells, and [[Elemental Crafting|use runes to improve weapons]]. You will also receive gold each time you visit a captured city.<br /><br />After a PC demo was released, the game was ported to the Nintendo DS and PSP and released in early 2007. It performed surprisingly well with players and critics and ended up being ported to pretty much every system, including an expansion for the Xbox 360 and iPhone versions.

You play as the heir to your small kingdom's leadership. You take it upon yourself to find the source of the sudden famine that has stricken your land, only to stumble across a plot by the god of famine. It features a puzzle style similar to ''[[Pokémon]] Trozei''.
* '''Puzzle Chronicles''', was released mid-April 2010 for many systems, featuring a desert theme and a gameplay style similar to ''Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo''. In it, you play as a member of desert tribe looking to free his enslaved people and gain revenge on the slavers that captured them. ''Puzzle Quest 2'' appears to be based on this game.
