Word Dungeon Series Two ends Monday
Heya Word Dungeon supporters*,

A quick one from me. Word Dungeon Series Two ends on Monday 12 October at 8pm UK time.

You backed or followed One Hundred Dungeons, so you know the little dungeons. This campaign has more of them: the Stretch Adventures are a story told through Little Word Dungeons with a new chapter every time we hit a backer target.

Stretch Adventures



Here’s what you get for £7:

  • Three new Word Dungeons: Rumpledonk’s Ruins, Dragon’s Castle and A Day at the Zoo.
  • A bonus dungeon sponsored by the community.
  • The Stretch Adventures. A Little Word Dungeon story in a comic book style.


Your One Hundred Dungeons files are still on BackerKit. Here’s how to find them.

Thanks for supporting One Hundred Dungeons. I look forward to seeing you in a dungeon soon.

One Hundred Done-geons
Heya Dungeoneers,

First, an apology, it's taken far longer than it should have to get the final Community Crypts completed. After reading this, you'll find the full set of Community Crypts are ready to play. If you've forgotten how to find your files, here's the info you need.

With that, I can confirm that the 100 Dungeons Fulfilment is complete - 343 of you wonderful humans backed the game and I hope you've enjoyed playing! In total, you've got 135 dungeons to play. If you're wondering where the final 3 are hiding, check the front covers and some of the instructions as you'll see you can play those too! Thank you for your support and your patience. 

What's next?

A date for your diary and a kickstarter to follow. Word Dungeon Series Two launches on Kickstarter at the end of the month - Monday 28th September, 8.00pm UK time. If you want to make sure you get updates about the launch, please click here.

Word Dungeon, the app

My last update mentioned the Word Dungeon app development. Well, thanks to some amazing beta testers you can now play Word Dungeon on your phone, table or desktop. It's free, and there's a new dungeon every day for you to play. It looks like this and you can play it at:

Thanks for all your support, you're all brilliant.

See on the next campaign.

More Community Crypts coming soon
Afternoon Dungeoneers,

Firstly, an apology, I was hoping to get the remainder of the Community Crypts completed and too you last weekend. Time got away from me, plus the final few crypts are a little more complex than the first lot so they're taking longer to draw and create some accompanying rules guidance. I'm away this weekend, but will have them all finished at some point next week. Thanks for your patience.

What else have I been up to?

Well... the Word Dungeon app is coming along nicely. We've got a healthy team of about 20 beta testers who are busy putting it through its paces. We're finding (and fixing) bugs as we go, plus getting to play a whole load of dungeons. I'm hoping soon I can do an official launch.

Word Dungeon on Desktop


I am looking for more beta testers, so if you'd like to play Word Dungeon on your phone, desktop or tablet and give feedback when it all goes wrong please click this link and drop me an email.

If you're not sure what I mean by Beta Testing... you'd be playing a version of the app that's still in development, part of your role as a tester would be to play and spot where things aren't working quite right. It's a a great way to help shape the app with other testers and me. Testing is easy, you email me, I send you a link and then you play on your phone, tablet or pc, then you email me and let me know how you got on. There's nothing to install, it runs from your internet browser.

There's also the next kickstarter, 3 new full games for you to enjoy, you can find details and follow the prelaunch here.

Thanks for all your support, I hope you're enjoying the games!

Help wanted & Community Crypts Pt 4
Good morning!

Four more dungeons have been added to the Community Crypts this week. Thank you to: Lee Hennessy, Pizzp, Magikmilk and Zoltan for their submissions! You can find all your dungeons in your Backerkit account, if you want a step-by-step guide, please see this previous update. 

More crypts will be ready next week.

Seeking Beta Testers...

The Word Dungeon App


I've been working hard this week on a new strand of the Word Dungeon universe - an web-based app for desktop, tablet and mobile. Lots of people have been asking for it and a few have even offered to build it so thank you for spurring me on to have a go at building it myself. This image above is from the working prototype. 

Here's what it does:
  • Let's you play Little Word Dungeons on your phone
  • Checks the words you play
  • Records your score
  • Allows you to save progress
  • Has a global leaderboard
  • Have 10 little dungeons in the preview
  • Is currently running a daily dungeon (a la Wordle)

There’s a lovely group of people beta testing this version - poking it, playing the game and breaking the game before I release it more generally.

If you’d like to be involved in testing future versions, can you please drop me an email and let me know. I’ll add you to the testers list and email you in the coming weeks with something to try out. 

Thanks in advance for your help!
