So, when I was a kid there was a game show called Legends of the Hidden Temple. And in it, there was a room where the kids had to assemble a three-piece silver monkey statue in order to go to the next room.

I'm running a puzzle dungeon soon and I want to have a room where the players have to piece together a chimera or a sphinx (like feet, torso, head) in order for the door to open, but I'm not sure how to make it work mechanics wise and how to explain it to the players.

Any ideas?
