Emergent gameplay



Emergent Gameplay is a broad term used by Jagex that refers to in-game activities developed by players. Emergent gameplay revolves around the use of in-game content in ways that were not specifically intended by Jagex when they created the content.

A wide range of activities are included within the scope of emergent gameplay. Some of the more prominent examples of this include clans, scavenger hunts, hide-and-seek games, and role-playing games. Jagex encourages emergent gameplay through a variety of community events and in-game updates. The most explicit example of this are Faruq's Tools for Games, most of which were developed by Jagex to encourage players to create new methods of gameplay.
