Using Separate Saved Copies for Two Competitive Teams

This is an invented planning exercise, not a customer event or testimonial.

Background and constraints

A fictional host wants two teams to attempt the same escape packet independently. One shared progress state would let one team’s completion unlock the other’s tasks.

Planning process

The organizer creates this Team A project, duplicates it for Team B and uses identical puzzle inputs. Each saved copy has its own progress and countdown. The host publishes how hints, completion time and tied outcomes will be handled before starting.

Result explanation

Team-name text alone does not create independent progress records. Separate project copies are the practical way to keep attempts distinct in this version. The exact same packet supports equal information access.

Alternative

Run one cooperative shared attempt if separate devices or careful host operation are unavailable.

Execution notes

Avoid exposing the solution screen to players. Do not compare teams under different hint rules or start conditions.
