That game is called math :) Partially joking, but I do think a game version would be fun.

More or less yes for an undergrad, but when you get to research it feels different.

Consider checking out an abstract algebra book. Maybe Dummit and Foote or something else popular. Proofs in algebra often have a satisfying game-like quality. The more popular books will have solutions you can find online if you get stuck.
