I was thinking of a bit more of a horror vibe, a lá Demonophobia or Another Dimension, with everything out to kill you. A 'Saw' style death course, a dark maze or forest, the lab of a mad scientist, something invisible hunting you in broad daylight... There's a ton of stuff I could do. Although a consensual variant where you wander a festival/museum and get to watch a few deaths before getting snuffed yourself has an interesting ring to it too. We'll see.

For Flannery, the peril being part of the whole thing is a good point (if a kinda stupid thing to do, but in-character it's perfectly fine), but a knife seems rather impractical. I envision she has some sort of 'release' she just has to pull to open the knot (I just won't go into the details of that because I know next to nothing about knots; the reader will just have to assume it works somehow), and a knife as a backup. Too bad this time she hits the 1 in a million chance of the release failing and her knife ending up out of reach. Gg.
