# Action / Adventure {% embed url="" %} Action / Adventure games involve navigation and active participation to complete objectives and achieve an overall goal. The Sandbox Game Maker has many new tools, including the [**Game Rules**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/game-rules) system, to combine with the [**Objectives**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/objectives) system for quests (formerly called "Rules") and new or enhanced object logic ([**behaviours**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/behaviours) and [**components**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/components)) to design a spectacular world to explore. ### Variations of Action
