Hey gang. Starfinder has an adventure called Junkers Delight that is a fun first time adventure. It's simple, straight forward, and has enough game dynamics to give new players a good sense of the mechanics. It's also fairly easy on the GM to navigate.
Is there anything like Junkers Delight for Pathfinder2e? I'm looking for a easy adventure for a group that has never played before.
Thanks for your thoughts.
There's the Otari adventure in the beginner box.
Also have We Be Heroes and Pathfinder Adventure: Little Trouble in Big Absalom. Both are free.

Great recommendations. Thank you. Free is nice too! Although to be fair... happy to pay for a quality product!
I enjoyed Fall of Plaguestone.

Troubles in Otari, all the Free RPG Day free adventures, all good choices. I'd avoid Plaguestone, it has some major balance issues due to being drafted in parallel to the final rules and adventure writers not having yet the hang of the new system.

There's a little murder mystery, it's got a 3 act plot similar to a movie or a play, and it has a little bit of all of the mechanics similar to the beginner box but not quite as on the nose. Pretty good balance between roleplay and combat opportunities.
(Just a note, personal experience says do not run Plaguestone for animal lovers.)

Thank you. Excellent insight.

Well, the other players mostly.
But as far as the campaign, I thought it was interesting. It wasn't so much a dungeon crawl as it was an investigation. We felt like we were pushing the narrative a lot more than the terrain was.
It was also interesting having alchemy be such a prominent theme instead of magic.

We did barely pull through on a couple of battles, and had to retreat and regroup on a third.
So yeah, the GM should definitely take a good look at the encounter balance and tune it a bit to suit the party.

We ended up rescuing most of them.

You can't beat experience. Something for me to keep in mind. Thanks for passing along the lessons learned.
If you have people completely new to the game it is hard to beat the beginner box. It is just full of good choices for new people as well as a good introductory adventure. From the pawns, to the color coded dice, it is just a great way to get someone new in to the game.
