What if my players cannot solve a puzzle?
Prepare a clue, a check that reveals information, or another route with a cost. Do not let one unresolved puzzle stop all progress unless the table knowingly wants that style of play.

A look inside this table
1A room with four colored crystals and four pedestals - each crystal must be placed on the correct pedestal to open the way
2Three levers on the wall, each labeled with a cryptic symbol - pulling them in the wrong order resets the room
3A room with five doors, each marked with a number - only the door whose number is the sum of the others is real
4A grid of pressure plates on the floor - you must step on them in the correct path to cross safely
5Two identical statues that must both be rotated to face the same direction simultaneously
6A room with ten candles and instructions to leave exactly three burning to proceed
7A set of balanced scales and a collection of weights - the correct combination opens the lock
8Four colored liquids and four empty vials - mixing the right combination creates the key
Questions about this table
How do I make puzzles fair for all players at the table?
Design puzzles that can be approached through different thinking styles - pattern recognition, physical manipulation, wordplay, or deductive logic. Encourage the whole table to collaborate rather than letting one player dominate. Consider giving different characters access to different clues based on their skills, so solving the puzzle requires the full party to share information.
