yeah, it could be the liar guard’s desire or prime directive to send you down the deadly path. to him that could be interpretated as the correct path. especially if these are automatons working off of some machine logic. like, they don’t even need to be out to get you, that’s totally something that bad code could do on accident.
and also, using “correct path” instead of “right path” will be less confuzzling because english words can have multiple meanings and are the dumb.
You should even specify “path to the castle”, because there isn’t technically a “correct” path.

This puzzle was used in more than one place than in Labyrinth. I played video games where they had that puzzle (Ultima 6 had that).
What is the quest was to die asap. And everyone the party meets just refused to kill them?
