One of my favorite modules to run was a puzzle module I ran a couple years ago at Dragon's Hearth. It was based off a brain teaser I found about seven jack o'lanterns in which the players entered a circle of seven lit candles in a fae trap. To be able to leave and return home the players needed to blow all the candles out. When you blow out the first one, the lanterns on either side extinguish as well! But there is more. If you blow out a lantern adjacent to one that is extinguished, the extinguished one(s) will relight. To add to the challenge there was a fae creature hungry for the taste of pcs coming for them and a malicious fae waiting to see them fail. None of the players had the resources to kill this regenerating behemoth and so time was limited. Luckily the players had a puzzle junkie or two on the module and were able to successfully escape the the grasp of the fae. A lot of the feedback from this module was some of the most positive I have ever received.
