Tap ROLL. The dice tumble, and your armored knight steps across a stone room floating in the clouds. Dice Quest is a dice dungeon crawler in the Roam app on iPhone where one button moves you, and the roll decides if you end up next to a goblin, a pile of gold or a grate in the floor. Clear the room, then move on to the next. It plays with one thumb, which makes it an easy pick for a bus ride.

One roll at a time

  1. Tap the big ROLL button at the bottom right.
  2. Your knight moves across the grid by the number rolled.
  3. Reach the goblins to fight them; each one shows its health above its head.
  4. Keep your knight's 12 HP above zero.
  5. Grab the gold and clear the room.

What is in the dungeon

  • Floating stone rooms with torches, a statue, barrels and floor grates
  • Goblins with small health bars over their heads
  • A knight portrait in the corner showing 12 HP
  • Counters at the top for gold and room progress

What a dice dungeon crawler is

In this kind of game, chance moves you and the dungeon reacts. Board games have done it for decades. Dice Quest brings that tabletop feeling to a phone: a grid of stone tiles, a hero piece and a roll that might be great or might drop you in a bad spot.

The appeal is the small gamble on every tap. You cannot plan a perfect route, so each roll is a little moment of hope.

The rooms help too. Each one floats in a sea of clouds with torches on the walls, so it looks like a board game piece someone built by hand.

Who will like it

Board game fans, people who want something lighter than a full RPG, and anyone who plays one-handed. It is slow on purpose. If you want fast reflex combat, look elsewhere. If you like rolling dice and seeing what happens, it is easy to keep going one more room.

Dice Quest FAQ

Can I play Dice Quest with one hand?

Yes. The main control is the ROLL button, so you can hold the phone in one hand and tap with your thumb.

Does Dice Quest have combat?

It does. Goblins wait in the rooms, and when your knight reaches them you fight. Your knight starts with 12 HP, so keep an eye on the portrait in the corner.

Is Dice Quest a good dice dungeon crawler for beginners?

Yes. There are no stats to set up and no rulebook to read. You tap, the knight moves and the room shows you what happens next.

Is Dice Quest a free game?

It is. Roam, the iPhone app it lives in, costs nothing to install, and neither does a single roll.
