Kickstarter Games You Should Know About August 2026
/
Let’s take a look at what is hot this August 2026 on Kickstarter and see if there is anything you might find interesting to close out the summer months. We hand pick Kickstarter Campaigns each month here. Let’s dive in!
Locked In
A solo & multiplayer PnP escape puzzle game where every roll opens one door… and locks two more.
In LOCKED IN, the objects you collect are not scored one by one. They become part of four riddles.
Each collected symbol is written into the next available slot, this means you cannot freely choose where to place it: strategy and timing matters.
The Riddle Log is dynamic. Each row develops over the 12 hours, one slot at a time. You may start chasing one Pattern, then shift your plan as new objects, blocked rooms, and empty spaces reshape your options. The challenge is not just to complete riddles, but to keep reading them as they change.
This game comes as printable fully colored PDF files for a bargain price. The game works with traditional six sided dice and starts out simply by rolling 3 dice. Select 2 of the dice to set the starting location for the game, the third dice acts as the pace value for the game.
Locked In has met it’s goal on Kickstarter already but you can back the project for yourself here!

The Black Box: A Mothership RPG Adventure
Pharmacology magnate Anna Brechardt-Emlin has suddenly lost contact with her father and is fearing the worst. She needs someone to investigate his workplace, a secretive storage compound that holds supernatural items. For whatever reason, none of her usual mercenaries will take the job. Weird. She's enlisted a crew of miserable, cash-hungry contractors instead. This rescue mission will take them out of the material world as we know it and into a terrifying, psychological landscape humanity will likely never understand, created by a mirror that reflects only pain. The Black Box.
The Black Box is a 20 page, multi-session zine module for Mothership RPG. Fans of video games Control and Alan Wake might notice some similarities.
The Kickstarter Campaign has reached its goal and you can back it here!
The Alchemy Dice - Color changing dice
I have been having a lot of fun getting into the hobby of dice making and I found this dice Kickstarter campaign really cool!
These are really unique dice that when shaken they will change to a different color and after about 10 to 15 seconds change back to their original color. They come in several different color options.
You can get a set for yourself and back the project here!
