Estimates were 2-8x longer than actual playthroughs. Base them on recorded best times, rounded up to a multiple of 5 minutes, and drop difficulties to 1-2 keys since no game warrants 3. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

intro: |
|
|
Beneath an old cathedral lies a labyrinth built for lovers. Legend says only a couple who
|
|
truly listen to each other can carry the **three lanterns** out.
|
|
|
|
**Explorer:** describe every glyph you step on and which ways you can go.
|
|
**Navigator:** work out where they are, guide them to the lanterns, and steer them **around the traps**.
|
|
The Explorer can't see the traps. One wrong step and they wake up back at the entrance.
|
|
|
|
# Grid legend:
|
|
# # wall . floor S start
|
|
# E exit (opens only when all 3 lanterns are carried)
|
|
# K lantern key (collected on entry)
|
|
# T trap (invisible to Explorer; on entry → back to S, keys kept, +60s penalty)
|
|
# Coordinates are (x, y) with (0,0) top-left.
|
