''Chip's Challenge'' is a game originally created by Chuck Sommerville of Creator/{{Epyx}} for the UsefulNotes/AtariLynx but later ported to various platforms, most notably UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows via ''Microsoft Entertainment Pack 4'' and ''Best of Microsoft Entertainment Pack'' (there were also plans for a UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem version, but they were dropped). It involves the eponymous hero, Chip [=McCallahan=], who has met Melinda the Mental Marvel in the school science laboratory and must navigate through Melinda's "Clubhouse" (a series of 149 increasingly difficult puzzles) in order to prove himself and gain membership to the very exclusive Bit Buster Club.
The gameplay involves Chip moving about a number of tile-based 2D levels involving things like cloning machines, ice and force floor puzzles, and various monsters, attempting to finish a level before the time limit runs out. A sequel was produced, [[SequelEscalation adding numerous gameplay elements]], but [[ScrewedByTheNetwork due to legal issues]] remained unreleased for over 15 years.

If Chip steps onto it, he'll receive a hint or advice related to the level's solution (in the first eight levels, the Tile teaches him the elements that will be present over the course of the game). Not all levels have a Hint Tile, so in many of them the player will have to figure out what to do on their own. In ''Chip's Challenge 2'', there are levels with multiple Hint Tiles that each provide a distinct advice, something that wasn't possible in the first game due to technical reasons.

* LockAndKeyPuzzle: The game makes use of color-coded keys and doors in many ways for this purpose, with the player being required to collect a certain number of chips each level to get through the gate to the exit. Two examples in particular stand out:
** Level 135 (''Trust Me'') requires Chip to find one yellow key to open the yellow door blocking the exit. The problem is that, while there are multiple keys, many of them are either tied to deadly traps or simply inaccessible; as a result, he has to navigate through the whole level to figure out which is the right key to collect. There's a glitch in the Microsoft version that allows an earlier key to be grabbed without consequence to finish the level more quickly, though.
** Level 137 (''Goldkey'') features many yellow keys as well as many yellow doors. The catch here is that certain doors have to be opened in a particular order, as going through either a wrong path or a certain area too ahead of time will render the level UnwinnableByDesign, forcing the player to restart it.

* TogglingSetpiecePuzzle:
** The Toggle Wall is a tile surrounded by green-colored outlines. Some of these walls are inactive and can be traversed as regular ground, while others are active and will act as walls. When a green button is pressed, all Toggle Walls will alternate their states, making it so the ones previously acting as impassable walls are toggled into passable ground, and vice versa. Also, the connection is global, so pressing any of the green buttons present in the level will yield the same effect. The game requires you to use them in all sorts of ways, and sometimes it's a mook that is pressing the button(s) (in one case, you even have to ''lure'' a mook into doing this).
** The blue-colored tanks, which are usually MechaMooks are sometimes used this way due to their connection to blue buttons. By default, a tank will face forward onto a specific side and stick there, but pressing a blue button will make them turn around to move at the opposite direction until they hit a wall. Some levels, like ''Lesson 4'' (level 4) and ''Firetrap'' (level 124) take advantage of this, as the local passageways are obstructed by tanks and you have to make them move by pressing the blue buttons so you can proceed. The level ''Memory'' (103) combines tanks ''and'' toggle walls, making up for [[https://wiki.bitbusters.club/images/6/61/Cc1_full_map_level_103.png an intricate (but pretty-looking) maze]].

* TwoKeyedLock: A unique version appears in the 121st level, ''Perfect Match''. There's a meandering corridor from whence cloned fireballs are moving to die in a moat of water. Right in front of the clone machine is a toggle door that opens and closes when the level's green buttons are being pressed. Ideally, the door should be closed so the corridor clears up and Chip can reach the exit, but in the central area of the level there are two paths where fireballs move, and each path happens to have a green button as well (and they're pressed whenever Chip or a mook steps onto them). The trope comes into play when Chip makes it so those two buttons are pressed at the same time, canceling out the toggle command and leaving the clone machine's door in its current state (open or closed); this is easier said than done, because it requires pushing a block to kill any surplus fireballs in one of the routes (the other cannot be manipulated), and any mistake will require him to clone new fireballs in that route to recalibrate. Chip can then press a green button in his area in case the toggle door remains open (after the fireballs' pressing match is done) in order to close it, allowing him to finally reach the exit.

For example, level 13 (''Southpole'') is a maze made of FrictionlessIce where Chip can only take turns when he reaches a warm tile, level 16 (''Cellblocked'') features recessed walls that prevent backtrack and thus will force Chip to restart should he meet a dead-end, level 57 (''Strange Maze'') is a multicolored maze whose walls are made up of other setpieces (including trapped enemies), level 67 (''Chipmine'') is entirely covered of walls that can be either real or fake (though unveiling the fake ones leaves their paths permanently visible, so it's not as bad as it sounds), level 88 (''Spirals'') revolves around navigating through a maze of thin walls while escaping an incoming swarm of random-moving enemies, and so on. There's even one level near the end with a maze where the majority of walls are ''permanently invisible'', but there's a way to figure out its layout by paying attention to the paths' shapes.

* FrictionlessIce: Even more than the Block Puzzles; level 136, ''Doublemaze'', uses The ice in this game is so frictionless that Chip, monsters and blocks will slide at ''double'' their normal speed, straight ahead without being able to create two overlapping mazes...change direction, and not stop until they slide onto a floor-acting tile. Not even walls will stop them - they will ''bounce off'' any wall in their path and slide back in the opposite direction with no change in speed.

** ''Chchchips''. This level consists of long trails of chips, which makes the title an [[WrittenSoundEffect onomatopoeia]] of sorts, especially in the Microsoft version where the sound effect for picking up a chip sounds a lot like "chp", or "chp-chp-chp-chp" when collecting a string of chips.
