Once you’ve chosen your setting, think about the experience you want to provide and how it aligns with your target audience.

  • Prompt Example: “Generate a jigsaw puzzle challenge for a museum-themed hunt.”
    Output: “Solve this puzzle featuring a famous painting displayed in the museum. Can you piece together the artwork and identify the artist?”
