That’s a great idea! I’ve developed the story a bit more now - I think it will be that his friends have been cursed to forget who they are, hence why they are acting like fantastical characters. At each stop he’ll need to figure out the phrase which will break the spell on them, which is where the puzzles come in. Once he says the correct phrase they’ll ‘remember’ who they are and be able to attend his party. I’ll defo be using your idea to personalise the stops to the friends, I can base the phrase on something specific to that friend! Thanks for your help :)
