Hello everyone. I am looking to add a puzzle in my next session that is at an royal Elven ball. The players can find an object and use it for evidence to support the claim of a royal member. I want this item to be kinda challenging to find. Involving a puzzle that uses the players skills/spells if possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
do you have a general idea where this item would be hidden. like would it be in someones home or a palace, in a hidden dungeon underground or maybe somewhere in a forest protected by some sort of guardian ?
making a small dungeon with traps or puzzle rooms that eventually lead to the puzzle or maybe proving themselves worthy to a guardian of some sort could be quite challenging
The puzzle will be hidden inside a palace at which the group will be attending the ball. It's not so much a dungeon and there will be little to no combat this session.
well you could make them use a lot of charisma skill checks and charm spells to make their way to a heavily protected secret chamber and if you want to give them a harder challenge just before they try to leave someone could get alerted about the item being gone and they would have to stealth and find creative ways to escape
An issue at level 10 with a cleric and a wizard is dealing with the "I solve the mystery" spells. You should prepare for casting of Divination, Commune, Contact Other Plane, and Legend Lore, and come up with responses that are not making the spell useless, but also don't just immediately solve the problem.

Well, hard to give specific advice without knowing what their spells and skills are.
The group is level 10 and contains a barbarian, bard, ceric, and wizard. Would be hard to leave every spell they have but any ideas would be helpful
