Cat Quest is a choose-your-own-adventure style hexcrawler.
It’s almost a ttrpg and would make a great onramp, but besides that it’s just good solo fun.
It’s for kids in the 7-12+ range or anyone who just likes cats 😁
Cats have 3 stats, a fur colour, and a collar that increases in colour like a karate belt to show rank.
You travel across the map over increasingly dangerous lands. Your quest is to reach the city of cats. You colour in the map as you go and the character sheet too.
If you choose between the example solutions, it’s a choose your own adventure.
If you make up your own solution, it’s basically a solo rpg.
If you have someone else specify new challenges, and you make up your own solutions, it’s a rules lite trad rpg.
That’s why I think it makes a great onramp to ttrpgs.
I made it for some special kids in my life and the feedback has been awesome.
It’s probably good for kids like 7 to 12+ and needs 1 six sided dice. You can print it out as an A5 booklet and print extra copies of page 2 (cat sheet) and page 5 (map) in A4 for colouring in. It’s for kids with slightly better attention spans, and is nonviolent.
Get it here PWYW ($2 maybe?)
