Entertaiment is the broadest term for anything that amuses and delights, providing pleasure or respite from everyday life. It can be as simple as a game played by an individual; or a banquet prepared and served for two; or as complex as performances intended for thousands. It may be a story, such as Scheherazade (from the Persian professional storytelling tradition), that inspires a composer to make an orchestral work, or a director to make a film, or an innovative video game.
