FORGOTTEN GODS
We are proud to present the final version of or beloved game, which had been played in 6 countries so far and will soon set out to explore new cities.
It’s a mixture of role-playing experience with an outdoor city game, devised to explore new European cities or rediscover the ones you’re living in, driven by passion to culture studies and ancient mythologies, with a touch of philosophy and sustainable tourism.
FORGOTTEN GODS
URBAN IMAGINATION GAME
10 – 30 players | 2 – 7 hours | age 13+
⌛
Gods and goddesses from ancient myths are alive, mingled among the human citizens, and making their living through the XXI century on Earth.
🍀
A thousand years ago they made a bet – what would become of the civilization if the gods withdrew the powers and let the humans act on their own?
⚖️
Now is the time to raise the stakes and call the shots. Is the world going in the right direction, or should the ancient gods reclaim the leadership once again?
🎭
A city game in which you would play ancient gods dressed up as ordinary humans, walking around the city in search of forgotten worship, ritual twists, and the meaning of the human civilization.

DOWNLOAD THE GAME
The Forgotten Gods game is available in 3 languages, perhaps more translations will appear on the way.
Each document is published in two formats: printable PDF and editable Google Doc. We recommend using the latter. Especially with the Quests, as it is a modular document to be crafted especially for your own version of the game before you run it!
GUILDS
During the game, you will play the gods from various Guilds and reflect upon how these topics are conditioned in the modern civilization.
WAR
LOVE
WISDOM
NATURE
DEATH
PANTHEONS
The gods you will play come from various Pantheons and are searching for their meaning in the urban fabric and culture codes of modern cities.
You can see the wonderful human-made artwork created for each of the gods by our Illustrators from Erea and Nausika!
In case you want to inquire for the full resolution of the artwork, please contact Nausika or the Illustrators.
