Secret Box Solo Games

a collection by Courtney · last updated 2023-11-10 03:13:09

a bunch of solo games you can play by secretly drawing one card at a time from a box you are hiding from your coworkers at your desk!! some of these require bonus tools (such as a six sided die or a coin) but i tried to pick ones that only need a little of that

honorable mentions:

- one suggested way to replace the jenga tower used in wretched & alone games involves rolling 100d6 and shrinking your pool as you go. there's a tool you can do that with here

- any given descended from the queen game is just a bunch of card prompts; not all of them necessarily work as solo but a bunch probably do, including the original

A solo journaling game about visiting an ever changing city
A solo tabletop RPG about relationships in a weird fantasy city.

requires a d6 also

A card game of discovery and improvisational storytelling for 1-4 players

not a solo game but very easily playable as one

a solo journaling game about lovers lost in space
A solo roleplaying game about exploring fantastic planets.

uses a d6. this one asks for a few cards at a time but you could very easily draw one, write down the result, draw the next, and so on until you've got them all and you're ready to write your journal entry. there are like a million hacks of this with various themes too

A game about a superhero, a supervillain, and the city they share.

not strictly a solo game but can be played as one. also it's like my favorite game of all time so i'm always gonna recommend it if i can LOL. also asks for use of a d6

A solo journaling game about extending hospitality to passing adventurers.

this one's mine lol sorry

A journaling solo-rpg about witches, magic, slice-of-life situations, and misadventures.

anything using the same system (the epistolary solo rpg system) as this should work too!

A solo journaling game about a witch finding a home.
A solo journaling game

also a princess sword game

A solo journaling game

also a princess sword game

A solo journaling game

this one also asks for a coin flip sometimes. it's the same base system as a couple others in here too

Healer
$2.50
a solo journaling game about being a healer for hire

this one does ask you to use multiple cards sometimes BUT in a way where you could easily still just do it one at a time imo; ex. you need multiple cards for each dungeon to determine encounters within but you could easily draw one, take brief notes, and repeat until you're done and then write your journal entry
