play value

Entertainment worth assessment

Play value is the quality that makes something enjoyable to interact with repeatedly—the capacity of a toy, game, or activity to sustain interest over time.

A simple wooden block has high play value because children find endless uses for it; a one-trick gadget has low play value once the novelty fades.

The open-ended design gives it tremendous play value.
