About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to descend into the depths of Undermountain in Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Scrawlers – Heroes of Undermountain! In this frantic game, you and your friends take on the roles of brave adventurers, each with a special ability to help them shine. The goal? To be the quickest and smartest to trace your path with markers through the mazes created by the Mad Mage Halaster Blackcloak. As time ticks away, you need to defeat monsters, cast powerful spells, gather artifact fragments, and, of course, hoard as much treasure as possible. Each round is a race against the clock, because as soon as one player defeats the dungeon boss, time is up! The final score is calculated after exploring three dungeons, and whoever has the most points claims the glory. With ten unique mazes of increasing difficulty, introducing challenges like portals, locked doors, and multiple bosses, replayability is guaranteed. There are over a hundred possible combinations, so the fun of scribbling never stops! Each character has a special way to score or interact, like the rogue who only needs to touch treasure or the barbarian who only needs to hit the monster's head. Wizards, on the other hand, simplify spellcasting. It's a fast-paced, dynamic, and action-packed game, perfect for those who enjoy the D&D theme and aren't afraid of a real-time challenge.
