I would like to work on this issue because multiplayer puzzle mechanics align closely with my interests and experience in building interactive, state-driven systems. I’m particularly interested in how real-time collaboration, shared game state, and player synchronization can be designed cleanly and scaled reliably in a service-oriented architecture.

I have hands-on experience working with backend services using Node.js, Express, and event-driven patterns, including managing shared state, handling concurrent user actions, and designing APIs that support real-time interactions. I’ve also worked on systems involving user sessions, game logic validation, and data consistency, key requirements for multiplayer puzzle challenges.

For this issue, I can:

Design and implement multiplayer puzzle logic with clear state transitions

Ensure synchronization between players using efficient server-side validation

Write clean, well-documented code that aligns with the existing quest-service architecture

Add tests to cover edge cases like desync, player drop-off, and invalid actions

I’m comfortable collaborating through pull requests, responding to feedback, and iterating quickly. I’m confident I can contribute a solid, maintainable solution that enhances the multiplayer experience in MindFlowInteractive/quest-service.
