Dreams Detective by Almost Bedtime Theater

AN INSTRUMENT OF DREAMS

Someone - or something - is stealing from dreams. Those Who Protect the Dreamers have pulled a detective from a plundered dream, imbued them with a fraction of Their power over dreamstuff, and tasked them with finding the culprit.

You are that detective.

Uncover the perpetrators, discover their plans, and report your findings.

Dreams Detective is a solo journaling game based on the Hints & Hijinx solo mystery game system by Pandion Games. You play the game by yourself, writing down your actions and answers to the questions posed. This book guides you, but you are ultimately in control of where you want the story to go.

Needed materials:

  • a journaling method

  • a coin

  • a set of polyhedral dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12)

Time to play: 30–90 minutes. 

License: Released under CC-BY-SA 4.0. You are welcome to take this game and make it yours, hack it, or make something totally new with its mechanics, even commercially.
