Hey, thanks!

That looks really cool, of course you can incorporate a puzzle!

I don't have data on solution times, but I think it's very different for an individually-solved series of similar puzzles and a group escape room-style puzzle. My recommendation would be to prefer a puzzle that requires an "Aha!" moment and from there is relatively quick, rather than a more meticulous one that requires tweaking parameters and messing around a lot.

Thank you. That’s an interesting thought about “aha” moments versus meticulousness. I’ve tended to offer “slow burn” puzzles, although I think there’s one exception in the escape room at present.
