A co-op dungeon key goes up the same amount whether the group barely made it or won easily

Some co-op games hand the group a key whose level sets the next dungeon's difficulty. Raising it by one every time ignores how well the run went, and punishing every failure drives the group away. Here is a rule that rewards fast clears, counts deaths as lost time, and never sinks below a floor.

Why this works

Difficulty should follow how a run really went, so a group keeps landing near its edge. Counting mistakes as lost time stops a win from being bought with dying, and a floor keeps a bad night from locking anyone out.

When not to use it

Skip it when players want a fixed level they can repeat and compare, such as a practice run or a race for a record. Moving the level then makes scores meaningless, so let the group choose the level and keep it still.
