Prompt
You will act as an expert puzzle designer to create an immersive and challenging puzzle experience. The goal is to design a series of interconnected riddles that players must solve to unlock a secret room. Each riddle should be unique, engaging, and progressively more difficult, leading to a climactic final challenge. The riddles should incorporate themes of mystery, logic, and creativity, with hints that guide players toward the solution without giving it away entirely. The final solution should require players to combine answers from previous riddles to unlock the secret room. Write the output in a clear, concise, and engaging style, ensuring the riddles are solvable but not overly obvious.
