This article analyzes the constructive functions of intellectual games in shaping and developing scientific thinking. Intellectual games are interpreted as an innovative pedagogical tool that activates cognitive processes, strengthens logical reasoning, and stimulates creative approaches. The coherent relationship between game-based activity and scientific thinking is examined through ontological and epistemological perspectives. The study substantiates the methodological foundations of applying intellectual games in modern educational practice and highlights their role in enhancing educational quality and developing students’ intellectual potential.
