Every dungeon is a book

Every dungeon is a book. Open one, lead up to three heroes down through its chapters, and fight whatever waits inside, turn by turn, on a torchlit 3D hex board.

Bookdelver is a forgiving roguelike dungeon crawler on 5E compatible rules. Make a character from twelve classes and ten species, roll or arrange their ability scores, and take them diving. They keep every level they earn, alive or not.

A dive

Choose a book from the shelves: classic fantasy, folklore or horror, each with monsters of its own.
Walk its rooms, search the walls for secret doors, and sneak past what you can.
Fight on the board: attacks, spells, conditions and cover, with every roll of the dice shown.
Turn the page to go deeper, or close the book and carry what you found home.

Cards you equip

Cards are pieces of a build: feats, skills, tricks and spell riders. Find them in the dungeon, level them with the pages you win, and swap them between fights.

A book has a code

Every book comes from a short code. Share it, and a friend walks the same map you did. New daily books arrive every day: the daily, and the harder nightmare.

Your own fights

Write a combat scenario of your own: the room, the monsters, the words read aloud. Share it as a code or a QR code.

Play your way

Alone, with a hired companion, or as a party passed around one device. No account, no ads, no energy timers. Plays offline. Back up your save as text and carry it to another device.
