It is also a specific purpose, a deliberate endeavour. We are in front of a world, we have to digest its phenomena, we try to understand it - it is a primal process, i.e. mental digestion. In some ways it could be argued that the "scientific drive" is anterior to the technical one: first you assess, then you act. Consistently, science started as "natural philosophy".
It is relevant, in the framework of "scientific drive as (development from the natural process of) mental digestion", that terminologically "science" is not just "the realm where false statements start to exist (and try to be avoided)" ("discriminate" - ex scindere), but also, before that, an activity of sorting, of "separating" conceptual elements - mental digestion. The "scient" (as a participle of scire, used as "to know") is a "distinguishing" mind.
We not only «desire to solve a puzzle» - it is our nature (as per the above) as minds dealing with a phenomenical world we need to grasp, as part of the activity of "seeing" it, already before action.
«Play[ing]» is a process that both allows to refine knowledge of the world, physically (in the physical play), and to refine the grasping of the world, mentally (in the mental play).

Or just abstraction, enabled by a refined framework (following which, other areas become primary, topical - in the synthetic effort which is part of the above said process).
