So take a nice, simple dungeon with lots of rooms and several entrances. Put the party in competition for treasure and glory with another party. After finding half the dungeon has battle damage, and the monsters are all on high alert, and lots of rooms have been searched and possible treasure broken, the party will get to confront the rivals. The rivals will be the most dangerous enemies and have the best loot. They are the big, bad bosses.
