​Our Exquisite Dungeon

Our Exquisite Dungeon is by no means a unique concept. There have been groups creating dungeons this way for a long time, this is merely my twist on it.

The game is based on Exquisite Corpse, a surrealist game where players create a drawing together—usually in the form of a very strange looking being. The rules are quite simple—one artist draws the head, folds the paper at the neck line so the head is hidden, then passes the paper to the next player to draw the torso, they fold the paper at the waist line so the torso and head are now hidden, then this is passed on to the next person to draw the legs and feet.

TO PLAY

You will need at least one other player, paper, pens (or pencils) and a six sided die for each player.

HOW TO PLAY

1. Each player needs a pencil or pen and piece of paper.
2. Collectively decide on 6 features you would like to see included in your dungeon (or map). Assign each feature to a number on the six-sided die. 
3. Begin the first section by secretly rolling the D6 and working that feature into your drawing.
4. Draw your section so that there is at least one clear connection to the next section.
5. Fold the paper, but leave the above-mentioned connection lines visible. Pass the folded paper to the next person.
6. Roll the D6 again to determine the feature for the middle section. Draw.
7. Create the connection lines, fold and pass on to the next person.
8. Repeat. Roll D6 for feature and draw.
9. Once the third section of the dungeon is complete, wait for the last person drawing to finish, then reveal your dungeons/maps by unfolding the paper.
