The letters in the note aren't hidden to well. I haven't written the clues up yet but needed an example for the post. The cyphers with dots are hard to spot due to the background I will edit both the background and the cyphers to make it more clear.Ĭlues are too simple, yes they are. and fun!īE DYNAMIC! The players do the puzzle but find a different word somehow or they find a way you had no idea about sometimes is best to just give the players what they want regardless of your prep! Make them feel smart or heroic! BUT NEVER TELL THEM THIS WASN'T THE CORECT WAY!
Locate the door, secret or otherwise and bash it down. The buttons and door are mechanical a few rolls here and their and the player just *hacked* the puzzle, this might even let them change the word! Some safety nets for this one are Ī longer or more dangerous path that bypasses the puzzle. In my opinion all puzzles should be possible to bypass if the players aren't in the mood.
Perhaps the holes in the puck are numbered? In the note place more words or spell words wrong! Perhaps the adventure before them did not write the common alphabet onto the buttons?Ĭhange the cypher to something more complicated. Perhaps the puck is damaged or even missing! Is the puzzle to open a door to the madman's lair, perhaps he left a clue in case he forgot the word himself!ĭM Clues! Remember the way you word and describe things can be clues in them self! However majority of players will not pick up on this. In this case the clues would be:Įnvironment clues! What is the common enemies in the dungeon, how do they relate to the word? The notes may have scribbles or clue through out that point the the word. The word for this one is: STONE, The top centre hole of the puck aligns with the top left triangle. Image from my VTT Set up for this puzzle: the wrong word may trigger a trap or encounter! The players need to move the puck over the notes until they get a word that they can enter into the buttons. Near the statue is the body of a long dead explorer in his right hand is a bit of parchment (The notes regarding the puzzle) in his other hand is a small wooden puck with serval holes. Someone has marked the common alphabet onto them. at the base of the object is a set of buttons. In the centre of the room is a stone dais/platform or statue. Because this is only the second puzzle and the first one that could cause harm I made is esay. I crafted a quick, simple and easily edited or modified cypher puzzle! In my game the players said they like the puzzle I ran last game and want more.
