Nice submission! I like the challenges part and the scale, they bring a nice equilibrium to the game. I cannot help but wonder whether some of the challenges are supposed to be impossible to complete in under 20 seconds of its just a matter of "needs playtests to calibrate". I don't really like the fighting mechanic, which feels thematically disconnected from the rest for my taste (a duel of wits or some sort of pantomime would feel more appropriate for jesters), but I get the argument for "realism". All in all, the game is well presented and easy to comprehend in all its components ;D
