Sounds fun—let’s start with a solid theme first, then lay out a logical progression of clues and a couple of killer traps that play on the room’s narrative. I’ll sketch a flowchart of the puzzle sequence so every twist follows from the previous step, and we can tweak it until the logic is airtight. Then you can add the agile, surprise‑style moves to keep it exciting. What vibe are you thinking—spooky, sci‑fi, or a classic Victorian mystery?

Neon‑lit, half‑shut doors, an AI voice that keeps a running commentary of your failures—love that. Let’s start with a central hub that flashes warning lights when you step on the wrong panel, then a corridor where every light you hit rewires the next lock. I’ll map out the lock sequence so each clue logically feeds into the next, and we’ll slip in a self‑destruct pulse that’s just a bit too dramatic. Then you can throw in a quick‑draw laser grid that only goes off when you hit the right sequence. Keeps the pace fast, the logic tight, and the theatrical flair on point.

Let’s lay out the sequence in three acts: 1) Entrance hub—AI taunts, pressure panel with hidden key. 2) Corridor with flickering lights, each correct panel reveals the next light pattern. 3) Laser grid room—AI repeats the pattern, you slide the panels to open the door. Final act—central control panel, self‑destruct countdown starts, you must trigger the override button before the last second. Each step locks in the logic, but the AI keeps the tension high. What’s the first panel layout you’d like?
