I understand I have to do all the work myself.  Does working solo mean once the theme is revealed my wife can’t verbalize any ideas she may have about how to implement it in a game?  She doesn’t know anything about gaming or developing, but does take an interest in what I am interested in.

Do I need to tell her to keep any ideas to herself once the theme is announced?  Because I have told her about this competition, and she will have interest, even if only because I do.
