Another of The Gentlemen stood up. Pon DeFor.
"Well, I suppose I could have done worse," Pon said.
"True, true. Good pick you made, by the way. Say, did you write your suggestion down for the next round?
"That I did. I'll be off, then!"
"So long then, Pon."

Pon left the room. Six men remained in the dark abode.

"Now, everybody give me your slips. The next round should prove interesting."


Each contestant suddenly found themselves on a different cube. The world they found themselves in now consisted entirely of them. It was some strange white space, where perfect white cubes drifted everywhere. It simply seemed to go on forever.

SpoilerEXPLANATION TIMEZ!

An area made entirely of perfect, constantly moving cubes.

This is where you are starting. Pretty simple. One one of the cube is something described in the next area idea.

I just wanted to suggest a sort of pop up book world. Where the pages turn about every thirty minutes.

Now, it's not going to change every thirty minutes. However I like this idea of a popup book world, and here's how it works. Each of the following (and the previous) suggestion are on different 'pages' of the popup book. The cube world is page one. Except for on the first and last 'pages' there are two triggers somewhere. One trigger turns the world to the previous page, and one trigger turns it to the next page. For example, on the cube world, one single cube may have a switch on it. This switch will suddenly cause the world to 'fold in' on itself, and the players will then find themselves situated in the next world, in approximately proportional distances of where they were before relative to each other.
Now for more popup inspiration, there are multiple triggers in each world. These triggers cause some sort of event to happen. Perhaps there's something like a slider in the cube world, where some cubes can be manually controlled of their path. Whatever the popup triggers are in each world are up to you. Get creative.

The next area should have a crystal in the middle that instantly heals all damage dealt to the contestants. It could either start automatically, or start once someone triggers it. Regardless, someone will have to break the crystal in order to stop its effect and allow someone else to die.

This world is lush. Green. Beautiful. Blue sky, tall trees (that create an impassable border around the area. INVISIBLE WALLS :O) and in the center is a giant crystal. All damage done while the crystal is activated on this page is instantly healed. If you go to a different page while the crystal is active, it's a slower healing effect. If you're two pages away, then the healing effect is even slower.

A large, barren wasteland. If you walk far enough in any direction, you'll come to an ocean. So basically, it's an entire continent of wasteland.

It's a small continent, though. Basically it's possible to get from side A to side B relatively quickly. There's radioactive waste around, too, sort of implying what might have happened here, had it not been completely fabricated. Not that the players know that it was entirely fabricated, since the other locations were just 'snatched up' by the director.

a place with Escher-like physics.

This is the last page, and it's a world where perspective rules all. Basically, whatever looks like it could work actually will work. Neverending stairs, an uphill stream, it's all valid. And yeah, you can walk upside down and sideways and such. Expect much confusion.


I hope this isn't actually too much to work with. I was originally going to combine them all into one world, but the popup book thing gave me the idea for having each world be a different page.
