Other puzzles include the mapping of labyrinths, deserts, or other inhospitable places solving riddles and tasks involving the use of logic or lateral thinking skills. The primary way in which characters solve puzzles and advance through the game is by using items found earlier in the game and stored in their inventory. Technologically, the series pioneered the use of animation and pseudo-3D environments in graphic adventure games, so that the main character could, for example, walk behind objects on-screen.

The later sequels have more elaborate storylines, more complicated puzzles, and more original and well-developed characters. The exception is King's Quest: Mask of Eternity, where the protagonist is Connor of Daventry, a tanner (and a knight like Graham from the first game) who is unrelated to the royal family. The main characters in the series are King Graham, originally a knight of Daventry who won the throne of the kingdom through questing, and members of his family: his wife Queen Valanice and his twin son and daughter, Prince Alexander and Princess Rosella. The world of King's Quest encompasses many different kingdoms and supernatural realms.
