1: Players must derive a code from numbers associated with objects or documents spread across an area. Some items that seem important are actually irrelevant, while subtler details hold the key. An additional source of information, such as dialogue or environmental cues, provides guidance on how to interpret the sequence. The objects and clues also convey lore that connects to other puzzles and storytelling elements elsewhere in the game, rewarding attentive and observant players.

2: Scattered across the world are multiple cryptic notes, each containing fragments of letters and obscure handwriting. When found individually, each note seems confusing, and the player can’t immediately tell if it’s useful. As more notes are discovered over hours and across multiple regions, a pattern begins to emerge, revealing a full term. Players must also recognize that these notes are connected to another document written in the same handwriting and style, providing additional context and guidance. Term is not a real-world word, so online anagram generators won’t help. Instead, it’s a unique in-game term rooted in game lore, only referenced in dialogue or environmental details. Rewards attention to detail and engagement with the world.

3: Players may find a document related to a particular theme, with certain entries highlighted, potentially hinting at a password. Elsewhere, a password-locked computer provides no explicit hints, but environmental details like hobby-related objects or posters reference the same theme, guiding observant players to connect the two.

All of these puzzles share a few core design principles:
>Fragmented information: Clues are spread across time and space.
>Hidden logic: Not immediately obvious; requires observation, inference, or memory.
>Connection across sources: Multiple types of clues (notes, objects, environment) must be synthesized.
>Lore integration: Solutions make sense in the world’s context rather than being arbitrary.
