Utterly Bullshit Puzzles For Your Dungeon

There are two guards. One always tells the truth. One always lies. Neither know what's behind the doors they're guarding. Both doors lead to a trash compacter.

Three Chests. One hisses and contains deadly gas, one is clearly airtight and contains deadly gas, one is unmarked and contains deadly gas. If the players ignore the chests, both exits from the room (including the one they came from) contain deadly gas.

Three potions. A complex riddle gives you a series of clues to figure out which one is poison, which one is a buff and which one is just coloured water. Actually they're all glued to the table and, while you were faffing around with the riddle, thirty thousand angry orcs walked in.

A series of levers which cause the door to open or close to a different amount. You think you have to flip the levers in order to open it the right amount. Actually, the door opens whenever it damn well feels like it, and the levers are unrelated.

The Horrifying Monster is immune to all damage unless they're first stabbed by an obsidian dagger. What the players don't know is that "obsidian dagger" is actually a mistranslation of "gold needle" and no-one has any way of finding that out.

The locked door is in a room full of keys, all of which are slightly different. Actually, all the keys are the soul cages of never-before-mentioned powerful liches, and if you touch any of them that lich teleports in to kill you.

Pile of treasure that is marked with "those who touch this will be betrayed by those they least suspect". When a PC takes it, the GM throat-punches that PC's player.

The BBEG can't be defeated. That's it, that's the entire puzzle. Good fucking luck.

Can we fucking kill Benjamin Johnson please? As a treat
