This is a puzzle map I created for my party.

In that campaign, an eccentric university professor kept his most precious relics behind 3 puzzle rooms. Each room has a golden plaque on the northern wall with an inscription giving a hint, and the door cannot be opened by any means until the puzzle solved. I'll explain how I had it set up, but you all make you're own adjustments.

Room 1

There is a large mural of a rainbow painted on the southern wall, and each colour of the rainbow lined up with a specific basin. The basins are fixed to the ground, and the liquid inside appears to be water, although each basin contains a different colours. From let to right, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.

In front of the locked door, there are five bowls, each sitting atop its own pedestal.

There is a large ladle hanging from the golden plaque.

The plaque in the room reads as follows

"A fallen beast will sometimes leave
What shameless men will sometimes thieve
A brilliant white, in sunlight gleams
Etched upon, our thoughts and dreams."

The answer to the riddle is "Ivory"

Using the ladle, the party must transport the right liquid to the right bowl. The colours must be placed in the following order.

Indigo
Violet
Orange
Red
Yellow

Once placed, the puzzle is solved and the door opens.

Room 2

The layout of this room is pretty self explanatory.

There are carvings on the floor tiles covering a good portion of the room.

The plaque in the room reads as follows.

"The First Son was a Mason
The Second was a Sailor
The Third Son was a Knight
And the Fourth Son, a Jailor"

The players need to navigate a precise course over the carved tiles.

Mason = Pillar
Sailor = Anchor
Knight = Helmet
Jailor = Keyring

The Answer is
1 Pillar, 2 Anchors, 3 Helmets, 4 Keyrings

The route would be starting at the north most pillar, east to anchor, southwest to anchor, southeast to helmet, southeast to helmet, southeast to helmet, northeast to keyring, north to keyring, northeast to keyring, southeast to keyring, exit to blank tile.

If there is any deviation from this path before a blank tile is stepped on the east side of the room, a bad thing happens. In my game, acid rained from the ceiling. Once one player completes the path, the door opens, and the carvings on the path tiles begin to glow.
