The "fifteen puzzle" or "slide puzzle" is a sort of Stock Puzzle where one has to arrange a set of scrambled numbers so that they are all shown in ascending order. One spot is always open, allowing pieces to be moved around, but it is designed in such a way that no piece can ever be removed from the board. There are larger versions with more than than fifteen squares; these are called "n-puzzles", where n is the number of scrambled numbers (always a square number minus one). A more general version of the "sliding puzzle" will have the player try to put together an image in the same manner as above. The picture you're trying to reassemble is usually printed on the back of the box to minimize frustration. When used in video games, depending on the player's familiarity with this kind of puzzle, thay can easily become That One Puzzle or a source of Guide Dang It!; see here for a beginner's guide to solving them. The puzzle traces back at least to Noyes Palmer Chapman in 1874; later on, Sam Loyd claimed to have invented it. Loyd did at least popularise the puzzle, by offering a huge prize each week in a newspaper advertisement for those who solved a certain configuration. He had analysed the puzzle and proved that half of all configurations are impossible to solve, naturally including the one in question, and thus nobody ever won the huge prize he offered. |

Freddi Fish 2: The Case of the Haunted Schoolhouse has one of these on the ceiling above a statue, with three difficulty settings: one normal puzzle, one with a rectangular piece, and one with two rectangular pieces. Solving it is completely optional—the only requirement is to get the empty square directly above the trident the statue is holding, which you will then be able to remove. | |

Bloody Spell have optional sliding puzzles for you to unlock larger treasure chests, whereas smaller ones can be opened with the usual hacking at the lock. The sliding puzzle-related chests expectedly yields far better upgrades and bonuses than the common ones. Humorously, enemies within vicinity of these chests (including bosses) will patiently stop their attacks and patiently wait for you to finish your puzzle! | |

Another Code (known in the United States as Trace Memory) had such a sliding puzzle. Each time the puzzle was activated, the pieces would be ordered differently: Meaning that some combinations were trivial, and some were face-meltingly tough. Perhaps the only sticking point in the game if one is going for a new time record. | |

Machinarium has a 3x3 variant in which you must assemble an unbroken line from start to finish. This is also made slightly easier than most, both with markings to tell you where to put two particular pieces, and that another actually falling out gives you more space to work with. The missing piece gets eaten by a robot bird, though, and that's another task entirely to get it back. | |

There's one in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, but you don't really have to "solve" it; instead, each piece represents a room in a 16-square area, and arranging the pieces into a path allows you to traverse it. Each room can only be reached in one to three directions depending on the piece. Indeed, if you solve it "correctly", there will be four rooms you can't access; deliberately missolving the puzzle so that you can access those four rooms will net you some items. | |

(Hold 'Alt' key whilst clicking on the handle). In the 2005 Spiritual Successor, There is a variation which has no open space, but instead allows sets of four adjacent pieces to be rotated around their point of intersection. Also, the picture you need to reconstruct is shown only on the game's menu page. |

The PC game Secrets of da Vinci: The Forbidden Manuscript has one of these; after you've sketched a copy of the Mona Lisa, you have to slide the different parts of the drawing around until they are in the correct placement. In terms of the story, this is the most illogical puzzle in the entire game, as there is no plausible reason why you would have drawn it that way in the first place. (It's also one of the most difficult puzzles in the entire game, and many players have taken advantage of a glitch which forces the game to solve it for you.) | |

The Legend of Zelda: Appears as a minigame in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, where the result is the image of a character (there are sixteen images in total). However, Link is explicitly told by the sponsor (the Butler of the Private Oasis) that solving it gives no reward beyond money, and since money is much more easily obtained thanks to Treasure Charts, the mini-game serves little purpose aside from distraction should you like this kind of puzzle. In the final dungeon of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, there's a variation. In several places, there are consoles with these puzzles, but each piece corresponds to a specific room, and you have to move them into varying positions to be able to traverse the dungeon. |

Most levels in Black & White have one of these tucked away somewhere.

Some level 3 clues in RuneScape require the player to solve a 5x5 sliding puzzle to advance the quest. A quest which has one of those is Monkey Madness. For extra difficulty, two of its pieces are nearly identical to each other. People were getting so desperate, they paid vast sums of ingame money to an NPC to not have to solve it! A Void Dance also has a 3x3 version. There's also the infamous puzzle in Elemental Workshop III. A three-dimensional, multi-story sliding tile puzzle, which you have to work multiple times to complete, with an irritating interface, a limited amount of moves, and no way to fix even the smallest mistake. |

Appears in a library in a minigame in Xenosaga II. Particularly annoying as it's timed, but at least it's not required to advance the plot. | |

Both The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour include this type of puzzle as rearranging the surface of a mirror to its previous state. However, since the missing tile is always randomized, it's possible for this puzzle to be set up in a way that leaves it unsolvable, forcing you to refresh it. | |

Timelapse uses this as the last puzzle of the Mayan time zone, requiring four images found around the level to be assembled in the right order, and with the added difficulty of solving one of these images reducing the amount of space to move the remaining tiles. | |

The titular Lupin III is able to solve them easily, as part of his safecracking abilities. An n-square puzzle hides the Suminawa family safe in The Fuma Conspiracy. Lupin's remote control bug has to move cupboards around to the correct layout in order to see the safe. A 15-block puzzle (incorporated into the wall) is part of the security that Lupin must get past to retrieve one of the statues in Lupin III: The Pursuit of Harimao's Treasure. |

Appears as a minigame in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, where the result is the image of a character (there are sixteen images in total). However, Link is explicitly told by the sponsor (the Butler of the Private Oasis) that solving it gives no reward beyond money, and since money is much more easily obtained thanks to Treasure Charts, the mini-game serves little purpose aside from distraction should you like this kind of puzzle. | |

Later Alligator: This is Papouli's minigame. It starts out with a 3x3 version in order to reassemble a picture of his late wife, but after that's done, he sneezes, revealing a standard 4x4 puzzle on the other side, with a picture of his secret other wife who is currently in witness protection. The game has an auto-solve feature for this puzzle if the player takes too long, but a puzzle piece is awarded for solving these puzzles without it. | |

In both Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 and LEGO DC Super-Villains, some puzzles consist of 3x3 sliding puzzles. You get a large amount of studs if you complete it flawlessly. In general this is a common type of puzzle in Lego Adaptation Games. |

Return to Zork has a puzzle that's close (a 3×4 "12" puzzle with the same basic mechanics). Trivially, solving it causes important items to suddenly appear where the puzzle was found. Guide Dang It! ensues when trying to figure out where each tile goes (it uses words as opposed to, say, numbers or a picture). | |

In the second game of Drakensang there's such a puzzle in the depths of the old Efferdian Temple on the Forgotten Island. You have to move the blocks in order to form the picture of a water nymph, but all the tiles are numbered. You also need the sixteenth tile from the Water Dragon's lair to complete the puzzle and reach the innermost chamber. | |

System Shock has an optional minigame that you can get as part of the "Trioptimum Fun Pack Entertainment Module", with pictures of Edward Diego, Abe Ghiron, and SHODAN that you must reassemble. It's not that hard, though, since you get to see the pieces scramble fairly slowly, allowing you to just do the process backwards. | |
