A Three-Seal Realm with One Clear Solution Path

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

Background and constraints

A fictional twelve-person group wants a first secret-realm adventure with no branching decisions. Two teams contribute to one shared archive objective.

Planning process

The organizer enters three nodes with explicit prerequisites and verifiable answers. The host tests 12, KEY and MOON in sequence. Teams can discuss each stage together, but the verification control blocks the key node until the gate is marked complete.

Result explanation

The graph is a simple chain and has one available opening node. The point values total 40, while the win condition is completing all nodes rather than reaching an arbitrary partial score. The shared result is cooperative, not a separate timing record for each team.

Alternative

Give each team a separate saved copy if independent competition is desired. Publish how scores, hints and time limits will be compared before play.

Execution notes

Use paper props and keep exits available. The archive is an invented setting, not a real exploration location.
