Think Quick!

Think Quick! is a video game in the strategy genre developed by The Learning Co., Inc. and published by The Learning Co., Inc. originally released in 1987. It is currently playable on DOS.

From the MobyGames description:

'A dragon has taken over the castle of Mystikar. To defeat the dragon, you must find the pieces to build an enchanted knight that are scattered throughout the castle. Numerous locked doors, many of which must be opened in the correct order, block the corridors. Along the corridors are numerous slime worms, which will swallow you whole or fall asleep if you feed them some flowers first. From any of the castle rooms you can access your hideout, which allows you to store useful items and clues you may find, and also pause the game. Each section of the castle has a time limit, and becomes progressively more difficult. Also included is a castle builder that allows players to create their own mazes and puzzles.'

Programmed with the same engine as The Robot Odyssey, Gertrude's Secrets and Rocky's Boots, Think Quick! will look very familiar to anyone who has played any of those three classics. However, unlike those three games, Think Quick! is not designed to teach children any subject matter, but rather as a 'problem-solving exercise'. It can even be considered an introductory level adventure game, because the key to solving many obstacles lies in picking up and using the correct object.

So if you like adventure games and have kids, Think Quick! will serve as a good introduction to the genre. The included castle builder is a great extra that is easy to use, and can encourage your kids to build their own adventure game. highly recommended!
