A Two-Node Realm for a Short Gathering

This is an invented planning exercise, not a customer event or testimonial.

Background and constraints

A fictional six-person gathering has 45 minutes including welcome and closing. A long chain would leave little room for instructions or discussion.

Planning process

The host chooses only two nodes and tests both on paper. Ten tokens unlock the word card, whose answer is TEA. The remainder of the gathering supports a short narrative introduction, optional hints and a shared reflection rather than adding extra puzzles to fill the page.

Result explanation

A small graph can still have a real prerequisite and a clear completion condition. The 20 available points are secondary to finishing both tasks. The host does not confuse the planner’s full event duration with guaranteed solving time.

Alternative

Open both cards at once for a less structured cooperative activity. If doing so, remove the prerequisite in the input rather than ignoring it during play.

Execution notes

Choose token sizes and materials suitable for the actual group. Keep the activity seated if movement would add unnecessary complexity.
