[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 4908684, member: 7006"] I've cribbed several puzzles from computer games (like The 7th Guest and Bioware's Knights of the Old Republic). I've also done the Google Search on puzzles and mindteasers and snagged a few that way. Some specific puzzles I've used (adapting them of course for what I needed them for): KotOR has a puzzle where an alien is currently imprisoned in a cell in the Sith base on the first planet of the game. You have to press the wall lock buttons (which change color from green/red) to get them all to turn green, thus unlocking the cell. I used this for a wall safe. In 7th Guest, I used the skull & headstones cake (where you have to divide the cake up so every piece has an equal amount of skulls, headstones, and blank frosting) to create a button panel with "Supernal" symbols on them that you need to do the same division on to unlock a rod stuck in an altar. I'm also prepped to repurpose the sliding barrier with a hole puzzle (that leads to the basement of the Stauf mansion) as well as the coffin lid puzzle when the time comes. I've also used the disected T puzzle and the hidden star puzzle to good effect. Do a google search under "Disect T puzzle" and "hidden star puzzle" to find them. The T puzzle was to assemble a key from several pieces the party found, the other was a "keyless" locked chest that had the puzzle on the front of it as light-up sections. They had to press (and light up) the correct five sections to unlock the chest (and there were several other small stars painted on the chest to give the hint of what they might need to look for in the light-up section. Hope these help or prove useful! [/QUOTE]
