Yeah, it was a cheap solution, because I wanted to finish the game early.

Playing the game to completion was not the point. The point was to test GPT-4's ability to create multi-step plans and adjust them based on new information. I fast-tracked to the ending once I believed that goal was achieved.

And yeah, of course I didn't know where the MacGuffin is beforehand. There was no map, I was inventing the whole thing on the fly - but the AI didn't know that. I didn't want to precommit to a puzzle, but rather have some flexibility to throw GPT-4 a curve-ball or two, and see how it adjusts its plan.
