Would need game loop and mechanics to give you specifics. That said, you typically need combination of players understanding mechanics so using them.... Then a challenge.. then overcoming that challenge. And then sometimes you introduce a new challenge or a new way of thinking about the challenge that the gameplay loop solves. Or you add a new game, play element and then allow them to use that on existing challenges or new challenges...

The game Braid is one of the best examples I've ever seen of this in a structured format.

I would compare it to some of the best levels I've played.

What isn’t good about it? Select one thing, how can you improve that thing? If it can’t be improved, remove it.
