Introduction

Even if a lock and its keys can be placed in a single area, locks are mostly useful when their keys are placed in other areas. Indeed, locks are meant to create multiple paths in your puzzle campaign.

In the above diagram, there is only one red key chest (in the red room), 2 yellow key chests (in the yellow rooms) and 3 blue key chests (in the blue rooms).

The corresponding lock will require 1 red key, 1 yellow key and 1 blue key. So the players will have to win one of the 3 blue rooms, 1 of the 2 yellow rooms and the red room.

A single lock can have up to 25 different keys. Each of those keys can be placed multiple times.
