Sources to use for making a horror game puzzle?

Puzzles are what add flavor to horror games as it makes you use your brain in creative ways. I’ve looked everywhere on YouTube for how to make puzzles for a horror game and the only one that I could find was a video from Gamer M8 where he was recreating a puzzle that was used in The Mimic. I don’t want to do that one as they popularized it and would make me seem unoriginal. I’m looking on doing a puzzle where you collect some gems and place them on a wheel that’ll unlock a door once completed. The thing is though, I have not that much experience in scripting and mainly lead myself off of scripting tutorials when I need to do something, without a tutorial of what I’m looking for (horror game puzzle in this situation) I feel helpless. Would any of you know where I can get more help on this or where I can get a puzzle?

Even if it’s a model that I can modify and add my own flavor to it? Or just some type of source that can help me please, you’d be a life saver!!

I think this should be in scripting support, and for the picking up gems, it would be a little hard. What I would do is create a BoolValue to detect if the player holds a gem, and enable that value if the player touches the gem. Then I would make a trigger for the door to light up some random location and disable the BoolValue. And so on until the door is unlocked.
