[QUOTE="jcayer, post: 5528177, member: 76960"] I have a mixed bag. 2 big puzzle lovers, 2 who are ok with it, and one who doesn't care for them, but appreciates the fact that the others do, so he makes the most of it. The second best puzzle I ever used, I used my first night DMing these guys. Try placing 8 queens on a chess board without any of them able to capture another. Even my puzzle solvers struggled. After about 30 minutes, one of the guys asked if he could make a history check, to see if he had heard or seen the puzzle before. I said sure and when he succeeded, I gave them three of the locations. The best puzzle was similar except it was just large marbles, and some monsters. The placement was easier, but this really allowed everyone in the party to participate. The puzzle lovers worked hard to figure out how to solve it while the fighter types/not puzzle solvers kept the monsters busy. Did I mention the monsters wouldn't die till the puzzle was solved? The way it worked, everyone in my group will still tell you it was the best combo challenge we've had. [/QUOTE]
