Duskhaven: a fantasy adventure party game where the city keeps its secrets
Roam a walled port city by lantern light, from tavern to catacomb. Gather allies and treasure, until the bells toll and one of the party is revealed to serve the Dark.
Duskhaven isn’t open to the public yet. While you wait, Candlewake, our haunted-house party game, is free to play right now.
Play Candlewake free while you waitWhat is Duskhaven?
Duskhaven is an original online party game by Rucksy for 3 to 6 players. Every player is an adventurer on their own phone, and a TV or laptop can show the city. Short on friends? AI adventurers fill the empty seats.
The city builds itself as you walk it: the streets, the towers and rooftops, and the catacombs underneath, different every night. Face Encounters, take Loot and find the city’s Portents. When the Dark rises, one of 30 different fates begins, and a member of the party may turn out to be a Turncoat.
How a night goes
Roam the city
From the Market Square to the rooftops and down into the catacombs. Every street you walk joins a city that is different every night.
Chase your quest
Face Encounters, take Loot and find the city’s Portents. Everyone has a secret side quest, and finishing it earns a boon.
Face the Dark
One Portent too many and the Dark rises. Secret oaths are sworn, and someone in the party may serve it.
What makes it different
Side Quests
Every adventurer has business of their own. When the night begins you are dealt a secret side quest, a scroll only you can read: end a turn down in the catacombs, up on the rooftops, carrying three pieces of Loot, holding a Portent, beside two companions, or while suffering a Condition.
Finish it before the Dark rises and you earn a boon (+1 to a trait), the table hears the story of what you did, and your seat wears a gold Quest mark for the rest of the night.
