My secret technique is called "Lie to your players"
"You& #39;re in a room with two hallways leading out, which do you choose?"

"We take the hallway to the right!"
Cool, here is a neat encounter with goblins and giant mollusks.
"We take the hallway to the left!"
Cool, here is a neat encounter with giant mollusks and goblins.
