Hey, I was thinking about designing a puzzle that doubles as an art installation. Would you be up for brainstorming the concept?

Nice, that’s ambitious. Let’s break it down: first map the maze layout, then decide what sensors we’ll need for the morphing effect, and write a list of riddles that are solvable in a linear way so the puzzle doesn’t stall. For the neon paint, we can buy a color‑shiftable dye and pair it with a sound‑sensor module; just remember to double‑check the power draw so the lights don’t fry. The secret door can be a simple pressure plate that unlocks a hidden panel when the final riddle’s answer is typed correctly. It’s a lot of moving parts, so let’s document each step before we start building. That way we’ll avoid the “oops, I forgot the switch” problem.

Alright, let’s draft a master plan: maze grid, sensor list, riddle bank, power spec sheet, pressure plate map, haunted‑feature log. Then add a “spontaneity slot” in the checklist for random glitches—like a sudden light burst that rewrites a clue. Keep that slot open so the hardware can surprise us. And yes, that unexpected glitch can become the most memorable part, so don’t over‑script everything. Let's start with the maze map; once that’s solid, we can weave the rest in.
