How about:

A simple text adventure?

Something along the lines of zork?

Basically a short prewritten story with a few actions to manoeuvre around it, along the lines of:

You enter the elevator there are three floors which floored you pick?

  • Basement
  • First Floor
  • Penthouse

go to Penthouse

I would say given the season make it a Christmas story and keep it as console line writing for simplicity.

Thoughts?

This challenge would require some d20 gazing, possibly some scratching on paper combined with deep thoughts on how to best capture the dungeon elegantly.

The following mapping gives the xmas twist:

  • Wumpus -> Grinch
  • Agent -> A little kid
  • Bats -> Reindeer
