WHAT DO YOU NEED TO PLAY?

Are you looking for something different from the usual adventure? Or curious about trying a (new) roleplaying game for the first time? Alice is Missing offers a unique, one-session experience focused entirely on story, emotion, and mystery. Think of the moody, secret-filled vibe of Veronica Mars or Riverdale, combined with the emotional character connections of 13 Reasons Why.

The story centers on Alice Briarwood, a local high school student who has gone missing. Over the course of the session, we play as people who knew her: friends, classmates, siblings… each with their own secrets, relationships, and suspicions. As the game unfolds in real time, we piece together what happened to Alice—and what it reveals about the town and ourselves.

What makes this game truly special: it is played entirely through text messages. There is no talking during the game. Instead, we communicate via our phones, creating a tense, intimate atmosphere where every message matters. There are no dice, no combat, and no need for acting experience. If you enjoy character-driven stories, mystery, or just want to try something new, this is for you.

Before the game begins, we’ll create our own version of this quiet American small town together—its places, its atmosphere, and the relationships between the people who live there.

Content Warning: This game deals with mature and potentially heavy themes, including missing persons, grief, trauma, and personal secrets. While the story is created collaboratively and boundaries will be respected, the experience can be emotionally intense. Players are encouraged to be mindful of their comfort levels.

After the game, we’ll take time for a short debrief to step out of the story, reflect, and check in with each other.
