Suggestions for puzzles

I'm about to start running my first proper campaign for a few friends. I ran a one shot a few weeks ago for some of them which included a lot of puzzles which they enjoyed and I want to add into the campaign.

The puzzles included things like a checkmating a game of chess in one move and moving a glowing orb around a room into the correct spot that they had to deduce from objects in the room. Puzzles that challenged the players as much as their characters and made them work together.

Does anyone know a decent list of puzzles I can pull inspiration from that aren't just riddles? Also what puzzles have you experienced as a DM or player that you enjoyed?

  • Tasha's Cauldron of Everything has a few puzzles in the back, though they're somewhat situational. I have used them and do recommend them though.
