Caravel Games is excited to announce an all-new creative project we're taking in a different direction called Twisty Little Passages, now live on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/caravelgames/twisty-little-passages It's a game book of solo dungeon crawl puzzle adventures that plays somewhat like a tabletop game. The puzzles are similar in spirit to DROD RPG areas, so if you're a fan of that game, you should especially check out this project. As of this moment, the project is 72% funded! One bonus goal has already been unlocked and there are some great stretch goals on the horizon. TLP is a unique blend of puzzle and dungeon crawler in a classic tabletop fantasy adventure setting. It features a multi-chapter campaign story that progresses through a series of 25 dungeon maps, where each area is a hand-crafted puzzle. Fight monsters, acquire keys to open doors, get life-boosting elixirs, powerful equipment and enchanted items, and defeat the boss at the end of each level. Use your wits to find the right path through each area and survive. Solve each puzzle to move forward with the story. TLP is a game of full-color, fully-illustrated thematic puzzles drawn by experienced fantasy artists. Engage your imagination in a series of dungeon crawls and enjoy the experience of interacting with a real book at the same time. To play, you draw right on the laminated dungeon maps with a fine-tipped dry-erase pen to track your progress as you explore, find treasure, keep stats and inventory, defeat enemies and uncover the secrets of solving each area. It may require multiple attempts to find the solution to a puzzle, and it's easy to restart your progress by wiping the page to start again. If you like puzzles, mazes and dungeon crawl adventures, you'll find this a uniquely engaging experience! This game book is different from the play in DROD RPG: Tendry's Tale in that each puzzle is standalone and the goal is to solve the puzzle rather than optimize stats. We wanted each puzzle to be a sterling example of a unique dungeon crawl puzzle focusing on a specific game mechanic, element or play style. Watch a teaser trailer, take a look at the game rules and get a sneak peek at a quick tutorial/introductory puzzle on the Kickstarter campaign page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/caravelgames/twisty-little-passages There are also rundown and playthrough videos and early reviews of the game, which all provide glowing praise for the puzzles and play experience. You can read a developer journal that I'm publishing on Board Game Geek that shares insights into how our team approached the puzzle design and what considerations we put into developing this unique experience: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/blog/9092 Thanks for your interest in this new creative puzzle experience from Caravel Games! Questions, comments and feedback are welcome!

Guide Beethro Budkin, professional dungeon pest exterminator, as he goes up against the Rooted Empire in a race against time under the looming Grand Event.
