Message: <blockquote data-quote="EzekielRaiden" data-source="post: 6690572" data-attributes="member: 6790260">Something that requires teamwork, cannot be done with less than three people, cannot be solved with violence or destruction, and which requires everyone to contribute meaningfully...I'm getting an image of a "chess puzzle" kind of task. For example, there is a lone enemy "king"-type piece on the board. To solve it, the group must put the enemy "king" into what would be called "stalemate" in chess:, cornering it in a position where it must move, but can't, because all available moves are blocked by the players (this is essentially impossible with only two "king-type" pieces, and straight-up impossible with only one). Each square can only hold one party member at a time, and they're prevented from moving until (a) there are other people on the board and (b) everyone else has moved at least once (the 'enemy king' moves after everyone else). This forces them to be patient, communicate, and rely on one another.Another possible option, which could be interesting: separate the group either physically (different floors, but they can all communicate), magically (same room, but on different 'layers' or 'dimensions'), or in their senses (they're all together, but have some important sense blocked). Then, each is able to see, do, or affect something that helps another--for example, guiding each other through a maze where they cannot see their own maze but can see one other player's maze, or where each has a puzzle to solve and one of the others has the vital clue that singles out one solution. Physically separating the players, and forcing them to work by listening to each others' words alone (or sending written messages, if you REALLY want to highlight the separation) would help.</blockquote>
