Can you guys give me some riddle ideas or puzzle ideas?

The temple of the sky/lapis session is soon and I wanna have a puzzle for them to get into the temple.

I have the idea to like, have them look for pieces of the key or something, but idk what to do for clues to the locations other than "there's five pieces and they're somewhere on this island"

So. I need some riddles/clues for that.

- players can roll a History check to “remember” the rules of a haiku

I work at an escape room

Algebra and geometry problems

Linear algebra problems

Calculus problems

Multi variable calculus problems

Have the players SSH into a cloud VM to get the answers to a puzzle

Have the players code a tic tac toe game with C to appease the bridge troll NPC

Use C to decipher a raw bmp file (even I don't know how to do that) to get a hidden map

Have the players decrypt some Base64 into plaintext and then use their steganography skills to find the hidden message which is encrypted in a vigenere cipher and then find the key to decrypt that

Decipher text that is in a Caesar cipher but doesn't have any spaces and is written in a shape which the number of vertices determines the key to the Caesar cipher

Danganronpa styled murder mystery

The answer to the riddle is the translation of text that is in an IRL language

Rearranged words in the communist manifesto where the first letter of that word is part of a secret message

Literally make a whole IRL escape room for your players

Have a flashdrive where some of the files were "deleted" and have your cyber forensic specialist player grab their copy of EnCase to retrieve the "deleted" files which is a 20k novella which uses steganography to hide a hidden message

Translating a Japanese haiku and answering the translated riddle

My players have said they enjoy puzzles that use lore they can find, things that require them to explore the environment, logic puzzles, escape room style puzzles and puzzles that subvert expectations (like a door with several slots in it, 2 of them containing gems, with more being found around the location, with the solution to unlock the door being all gems removed from the door instead)
