Entertaiment is a broad category of human experiences that range from simple fun to complex artistic expression. It can serve a variety of emotional functions, from catharsis to emotional cleanse, and it can also be thought-provoking, challenging the brain with puzzles or strategy games. People might find different forms of entertainment more engaging than others, depending on their moods and preferences; for example, a child might enjoy a cartoon show or a playground while an adult might prefer a concert or a drama.
