DMs will use puzzles meant for elementary school kids and the PCs will still be lost 😂

the problem isnt that they get the puzzle too fast, its that they dont get it at all, and now theres no story because it never began

The best part is you never need some super well thought out puzzle or riddle either, you can throw out one for a 3rd grader and it gets em

Serious advice for people whose players solve puzzles 'too quickly': create puzzles that still require the players to do something active once they've figured out the solution. Example: I made a dungeon where the boss was behind a secret door built into a magic mirror in the main room. Observant PCs could notice that a few objects were in different places in the reflection than reality, and some were missing entirely. Those items were scattered throughout the rest of the dungeon, behind small combat encounters and traps. My players knew what they needed to do immediately, but then they still had to actually do it and that was the meat of the game for that session.

I set up a whole session around a very simple riddle, the difficult bit is earn pieces of the riddle then putting it together, they managed that super quick but the riddle i wrote to be super simple they got completely wrong

I prefer vibe puzzles - 2 or 3 attempts and if they got a good enough answer they win and proceed

The puzzles can't be any more complicated than Golden Sun. Push some rocks around, maybe rotate a statue, grow or destroy some vines. listen to some kids sing about how to navigate some whirlpools.

I was running a 1 shot (actually like 2 or 3 games) and after multiple successful attempts the party discovered the hidden door the BBEG was going to use to escape. they went up the secret passage and attacked while he was preparing something (i dont remember what now). so they were able to beat the game before the main villain even did what they were going to

I once had an NPC no-show a meeting, they looked around his office and found out where the last place he was gonna be before that meeting was, then actually considered sitting around and keeping waiting for him 😂

That's my secret... I barely had a vague idea of what this puzzle was going to be anyway. Whatever they do will probably end up solving it, or at least "fail" in a spectacular way that moves the "plot" along or is at least funny
