''Cases where players can by luck find correct solutions for problems.''

Players need to perform actions in all but the rarest of games, and in many cases may have many different actions to choose from. [[Lucky Guess Solutions]] can occur in the case of puzzles or other situation where picking one action over others is vital and, most often, have instant good consequences. 

=== Examples ===
[[Roulette]] is more or less built upon the idea of [[Lucky Guess Solutions]]. Similarly, [[Cluedo]], [[Mastermind]], and [[Ricochet Robots]] are examples [[:Category:Board Games|Board Games]] where [[Lucky Guess Solutions]] can give players victories. [[Bejeweled]], [[Minesweeper]], and [[Sokoban]] are all computer-based [[:Category:Puzzle Games|Puzzle Games]] that allow for [[Lucky Guess Solutions]]. Similarly, [[:Category:Adventure Games|Adventure Games]] such as [[The Dig]], the [[King's Quest series]], and the [[Myst series]] allow for [[Lucky Guess Solutions]]. 

== Using the pattern ==
While [[Lucky Guess Solutions]] can be created by how [[Puzzle Solving]], [[Quizzes]], or [[Solution Uncertainty]] is designed, the use of [[Trial by Error Solutions]] guarantees its presence.

== Consequences ==
The most obvious effect of having [[Lucky Guess Solutions]] in games is that it provide a possibility for players to have [[Luck]]. It may also give players a feeling of [[Player Agency]] but this is a volatile design since players not feeling that the guess was an extension of their intentionality will have an opposite reaction.

Players trying to make use of [[Lucky Guess Solutions]] causes [[Performance Uncertainty]] and [[Player Unpredictability]] in those game instances.
