Comment on Is there another term for crafted, interactive activities besides games/video games?

Lots actually.

Playing house (if you’re 4), larping (if you’re older), table top games, D&D, pretend play etc. Basically all sorts is children’s playing and having fun in the backyard should also qualify even though the structure can be very loose.

I knew I forgot something, sorry…I’m asking in terms of crafted, interactive activities that aren’t necessarily aiming to be fun. More like interesting and thought-provoking.

  Museums?

    Or like some exhibits in a museum, but also media like Flower. It’s called a video game, but I feel like that’s for lack of a better term more than anything. It’s lovely whatever you may call it.

    Its the perfect term for it, your definition of “game” is likely incomplete:
    
    A game is a structured type of play, usually undertaken for entertainment or fun, and sometimes used as an educational tool
    
    Note that it’s usually for fun, but does not need to be. Flower is a game by that definition
    
    Adding “video” to it is probably the weaker part of the phrase, “digital” is probably more accurate but I doubt people are going to change terminology like that for something so minor
