I'm glad you mentioned that. I often fondly remember that puzzle in Monkey Island and it's one of my favorites as well.
Another one of my favorite puzzles is Le Serpent Rouge in Gabriel Knight 3. I have to admit it's really hard and I've never been able to solve it without a walkthrough but I just love the concept of it and the way you go about solving it. Just sitting alone on your laptop in your cozy hotel room in a sleepy village. Poring over mysterious documents and the map. Classic. |

Two of my favorites already mentioned (Le Serpent Rouge and PQ3 pentagram).
Others: Gray Matter - The Game of Life - it's many puzzles wrapped in one but a stunning sequence nonetheless Riven - Colored marble map puzzle - extremely difficult game but in a great way

The one in GK2 where you sent the spliced message over the walkie talkie thing to get the guard out was pretty clever.

i guess this one can be considered as more like 60-70% of all the Game-playing of Riven if not even more

I prefer the ones that make you think outside the box.
The DS lends itself well to this: - In Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney, you had to blow in the mic to Spoiler: - In Last Window: The Secret of Cape West you had to partially close the DS to Spoiler: - Also in Last Window (where you hold the DS sideways, like a book), you have to close the DS to Spoiler: - etc. I love these kinds of puzzles because they often have you trying every conventional thing first, but they come with a huge Aha-Erlebnis when you finally figure out what you had to do... The same applies to the "red fez"-puzzle in Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (where you Spoiler:). Or the final puzzle of Grim Fandango where shooting at your target doesn't work - you have to shoot something else to get to him... There's countless others like this, but I can't think of any specific ones at the moment...

Yeah these are all well and good but nothing beats the Gabriel Knight 3 cat moustache puzzle.

My favorite is the escape puzzle in Spider and Web. It's solved with a single command, but figuring out that command requires the player to figure out the underlying 'trick' to the entire mystery of the plot. It's widely considered one of the greatest text adventure puzzles of all time, and I agree.
Absolutely brilliant: (MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE BEST PUZZLE.) Spoiler:

The one i spent the most of the game playing was Still Life, something with the key, at the end of the game. I don't say i liked it, but i think that this was the hardest one i have ever tried to solve! And i have played a lots of adventure games in my life.
