Decide Which Puzzle-Hunt or Escape Room Theme to Build for Friends

Three theme ideas are floating around and there is time to build exactly one before the event. This scores each against build time, cost and how well it suits the group, rules out the weakest, and lands on one recommendation with the deciding factor named.

<task>
**Decide** on a theme:
1. Score each candidate theme against build time, materials cost, and how well it suits the group's taste, such as horror, comedy, mystery or adventure
2. Flag any theme that needs a skill or prop the organiser does not currently have
3. Rule out the weakest one or two candidates with a one-line reason each
4. Recommend one theme to build, with the single biggest reason it beats the runner-up
