First Adventure v0.1.0

For grown-ups

First Adventure is a free tabletop quest kit for kids in grades 2 to 8. A family picks a boss and taps a pictured hero each. The phone shows a scene card with read-aloud text, one six-sided die and three boxes to choose from. When the scene ends, the card says who the next Game Master is, so nobody has to prepare anything. A quest takes about 45 minutes with a sibling or a grown-up at the table.

How a quest works

• Every scene has three texts: one for grown-ups, one for readers in grades 5 to 8 and one for readers in grades 2 to 4. The grade chip picks the text, and a speaker reads it aloud.
• The rules fit on one card: three stats shown as a square, a circle and a triangle, one die, and a goal to reach. A miss is a “yes, but”, so the story always moves on.
• Every boss can be beaten without a fight, by a snack, a song, a riddle or a friendly idea. Those are the kind wins.
• Two misses in a row call a pause to catch your breath, and the next roll gets a bonus.
• Print the cards, a hero sheet for each player, and a paper box to write or draw what happens next. Children write on paper only.

Make a hero first

The Hero Maker gives a child a named hero in three taps: a kind (dragon, knight, robot and seventeen more), a sound (strong, soft or silly), and one of three names. The card says what the hero wants, what scares them and what they carry. Every name is on the name pages, and the grown-ups' page says how to run a quest and where the rules come from.

Safe at the table

• Nothing is saved on our servers. Your hero, grade chip and stamps stay in this browser, and no account is needed.
• There is no chat, no typed name and no free text anywhere in the kit. Choices are always three boxes.
• Every scene is kind. Nobody gets hurt, bosses want something small, and Pause is always on the card.
• Everything is free with no ads. The cards are hand-written; no AI is used while your family plays.
