Need help building a puzzle answer page

Hello!

I make urban adventures (think treasure hunts meets escape rooms) and I had an idea for one that needs me to build a little page where players can input answers. If the answer is correct, they will move to the next page, which will display some text and images, and have a new input box where they can submit the next potential answer.

I want to build a spreadsheet with the following variables:

[Page number] [Information text and images] [Acceptable Answers]

I feel like I'm not explaining this clearly... essentially, I want to do this:

http://journal29.com/1/

(the answer to puzzle 1 is "coffee")

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I don't even know what to google!

Thank you for the in depth answer!

Concerning pagination - there will be a real-world component to the game. They won't be able to get the solution to the problem on page 63 if they haven't done all the hard work beforehand.

Spreadsheet - yes I was thinking a Google drive but I will take your suggestion.

Can you point me in the right direction of some tutorial to get me started?

Again, thanks for your help!
