Looking for Puzzle / Task Suggestions
Hi all, I'm planning a fairly last-minute one-shot for a group of inexperienced players, I've got the premise down, but I need to come up with some group challenges / tasks for them to complete - I thought I'd check if anyone had any nice ideas!
The idea is: One of them is a demon in disguise, they need to find out who. It'd be like a DnD the traitors / The mole / Werewolf / Million Dollar Secret / etc... One of them is lying, the rest need to find out who.
The set-up is: They've been captured by a demon casino-owner, who will let them go when they finish his final game. They all must play with/against each other to find the Demon. They've all also been infected with Demon's blood, and will turn into a Demon at the end if they don't find a cure.
The plan is for them complete 4 tasks. Each task will give them a chance to get 2 potions - 1 potion will be a cure, one will potion be a dud. At the end, after all the tasks are completed, they choose which potions they want to take and which to ignore out of all of the potions they have collected.
During each task they will have a chance to try acquire a clue as to which potion is the safe potion.
The Demon knows which one potion is the cure, and is trying to get them to take dud.
So currently I'm trying to come up with some task they have to complete in-game: They could be combat, puzzle, skill-based, team-based, or anything engaging, that isn't too long so we can get through them all with discussion at the end.
If anyone has anything they've done before that sounds like it could fit, or wants to throw out any ideas, I'd love to hear them!
Thanks!
