Processing Guidelines
When extracting puzzle and secret entities from chapter text:
Identify puzzle/secret elements:
- Riddles or clues mentioned
- Hidden paths or secret passages
- Puzzles or mechanical challenges
- Traps or hazards
- Easter eggs or secrets
- Mysteries or enigmas
Extract puzzle/secret details:
- Puzzle types, solutions, difficulty
- Hidden path access methods
- Trap triggers and effects
- Riddle content and answers
- Easter egg locations and rewards
Analyze puzzle/secret context:
- Optional vs required content
- Hint availability (optional hints, fair puzzles)
- Difficulty scaling (early game vs late game)
- Reward scaling (better secrets = better rewards)
Create schema-compliant entities with proper JSON structure
Key Considerations
- Fairness: Puzzles should have logical solutions
- Hint systems: Players should have access to hints if stuck
- Optional content: Secrets shouldn't block main story
- Difficulty scaling: Puzzles should match player progress
- Multiple solutions: Some puzzles allow creative solutions
- Trap balance: Traps shouldn't be unfair or instant-death
