I want to re-create "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" in real life.

Here's an example: https://heathbar.github.io/keep-talking/

I think I can use my extra Adafruit Metro M7 with AirLift and CircuitPython to do the whole thing instead of a separate microcontroller for each module.

Here are some thoughts:

 Progressively get harder.  
   Shorter Time Allotment
   Fewer Strikes
   Repeat Solutions - Some modules go through multiple rounds to be de-fused.  Eg: Who's on First, Memory
   More Modules - Initially it looks like you only have to de-fuse the top of the box. After completing it (some number of times, or at a level of efficiency, a key appears that unlocks the bottom of the box with more modules)
   Switch to turn on / off back modules when the back is on.
   Even after opening the back, different difficulty levels turning some modules off, adjusting time, strikes, etc.


Modules:

 Wires:
   Just like Heathbar.  Add resistors to wires so the controller knows which wire is where.
 Big Button:
   1 x Larger OLED Display    
     under a big button with a fold down cover.  
   RGB LED strip
 Keypad:
   4 x 0.66” Arduino OLED Displays - see https://hackaday.io/project/176239-keybon-adaptive-macro-keyboard
   4 x micro buttons
 Simon Says:
   4 x Arcade Buttons w / LED
 Who's on First:
   6 x 0.66” Arduino OLED Displays
   6 x micro buttons
   1 x Larger OLED Display
   5 rectangle LEDs
 Memory:
   1 x Larger OLED Display
   4 x 0.66” Arduino OLED Displays
   4 x micro buttons

   1 x Larger OLED Display
 Mazes:
   6 x 6 LED array
   4 x micro buttons
 Passwords:
   10 x micro buttons
   1 x Larger OLED Display
 Venting Gas:
   1 x Larger OLED Display
   2 x micro buttons
   2 x Number Display
 Knobs:
   12 x LEDs
   2 x Number Display
   1 x 4 position knob
