So I run a monthly Dungeons and Dragons group for teens that lasts 3-4 hours. Very informal, but we do have an ongoing story. The last session ended with most of the party being captured by a group of Yuan-Ti, and I wondered if this could be a set up for a special month of October funhouse dungeon that the group has to escape. Does anyone have any recommendations for a one shot dungeon or scenario that I could slip the party into for a mostly for fun dungeon escape? I'm mostly concerned with it being fun, plus level appropriate and condensed enough for a 3 hour or so session than it being lore friendly or making technical sense.
EDIT: if 3-4 hours is too short, I could run it for two sessions.
Might need some shoehorning to fit the setup, but since nobody else replied so far...
I recently ran a small adventure (of my own homebrew) where the party had to clear out a monster-infested keep. The interesting part is that the keep had been ripped into the astral plane due to an accident involving too many Bags of Holding in the owner's treasure room. The rooms of the keep were essentially floating in space, requiring characters to hop across floating rocks and debris to navigate it.
It was a good excuse to throw in lots of weird extraplanar monsters and some spelljammer entries. I also had other weirdness going on, like a room where gravity was sideways. An early draft put that in an armory, so the door had a bunch of swords stuck in it. The final version had the gravity room in a library for shelf-climbing purposes.
Try The Sky-Blind Spire from Trilemma Adventures. It is a crazy funhouse tower with lots of fun opportunities. It's also technically a one-page dungeon means that it can fit into a single session pretty easily.

Thanks for the feedback. I can actually think of an in universe reason why this dungeon might have plane shifting weirdness that ties into my campaign, so thanks for that. Whether I use Sky Blind Spire, I'm definitely, saving it for future reference, so thanks!
