Found On A Dead Rock

A One Page Alien Archeology Game

Click HERE To Learn More.

Thousands of years ago, an alien civilization vanished, leaving behind only ruins, relics, and unanswered questions on their distant planet.

You are xenoarchaeologists, sent across the galaxy with the task of uncovering the strange objects the alien civilisation left behind.

For each artefact, you'll describe what it looks like, where it was found, and the feelings it inspires before deciding what purpose it once served. Every artefact reveals a new clue about its creators, helping you piece together a picture of a long-lost alien culture.

There are no right answers, only evidence, imagination, and the stories you build together about who these aliens were, what they valued, and maybe even why they disappeared...

Word Dungeon was completely free for a year when we released it two years ago. This is the devlog we used to announce the game. The actual game page had been updated when we started to charge for the game. We’ve still kept the price low so more people can easily play it.

Hi Zed! No need to feel silly! 48 Hour Crime Scene may include the prompts from 24 Hour Crime Scene but there is a difference in the rules, and playing the 24 Hour variant in 48 Hour Crime Scene isn't the exact same game as 24 Hour Crime Scene. However, please send an e-mail to hello@longgames.co.uk and we'll help you out!

Thank you for your comment, I'm so happy that this game was able to help students in your class participate and engage, that's really exciting! Thank you for letting us know!

Sidekick is out now!

Sidekick is a role-playing game for two or more players where a Sidekick helps a Superhero defeat a Supervillain and their Minions.

During the game, the Sidekick and the Superhero will continuously talk to each other so that the Superhero can better understand the location, the Supervillain's goals, and how to defeat them.

Sidekick is built around the back-and-forth between the Superhero as they are trying to find and defeat the Supervillain, and the Sidekick, who is hidden away in their control centre and has eyes and ears on the city.

By asking each other questions, feeding each other information, and building upon the other player's prompts, the players will create a unique Superhero story packed full of excitement, surprises, and world-ending stakes.

So, don your capes, put on your masks, and gather your intel... there's a Supervillain in town, and only you can stop him.

Thanks for your question. To clarify, the rules for 24 Hour Crime Scene and 48 Hour Crime Scene are almost identical, there is just a difference in how you set up the game.

Essentially, 24 Hour Crime Scene includes 24 prompts and 48 Hour Crime Scene includes 48 prompts (24 of those prompts being from 24 Hour Crime Scene). 

48 Hour Crime Scene only includes the rules to set up a game of 48 Hour Crime Scene and not the original rules for 24 Hour Crime Scene.

As for the variants, 48 Hour Crime Scene includes a way for you to create and structure your own prompt deck to change the length of the game.

I hope this clarifies it for you!

Thanks very much! I'm glad you're enjoying it. The edition from El Refugio de Ryhope is fantastic! I don't know of any hacks for it, but if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them!

Word Dungeon is a single-player, dungeon-crawling word game, worthy of your finest notebook... and you can play it for FREE!
