AiC RPG LOGO

Words from our fans:

The AIC crew are incredible, some of my son's favorite people on earth. These campaigns are great for building creativity, problem solving, story telling, and camaraderie. The game masters were great at teasing out creativity and building confidence. And very patient 🙂
-Zeb

This was my boys' first experience with AiC and they absolutely loved it. I wanted to share what I found an unusual comment: they really appreciated how diligent counselors were about monitoring bad behavior and cheating. It made an enormous difference to them, and they even found that they enjoyed the company of those they'd been avoiding earlier in the week. The fact that you all can manage a "classroom" better than all of their teachers is impressive, and I want to acknowledge that and thank you!

Brenna, parent of two
"I had so much fun.  We had an innovative adventure and a great DM in Rachel. I really appreciate the effort they put into the campaign and can't wait to do it again in the future." 
- Amory, player, age 11
"My son is a huge fan of Adventures in Cardboard and was absolutely thrilled when they launched their Dungeons & Dragons series.  It exceeded his high expectations; every week he left class elated about the fun and positive forum to connect with other kids around the Twin Cities who share his passion for D&D and role playing games.  He is counting the days until the next class begins!"  - Nicole, parent
"Thank you for doing this awesome program for our kids. It's a giant bright spot for them!!"
-Jenny, parent
"We'd been searching for something like this and our son had a great experience!  He had been interested in Dungeons and Dragons, but it's tough for a 12 year old to figure out the game from books alone (and it's been 35+ years since mom played...) and find a group of similarly aged kids.  It was wonderful to have an older counselor/DM to lead a small group of similarly aged kids through the game.  It was also great to have such small groups that he really got to know the other kids.  Now he's spending time researching in books to be a more informed adventurer!
 
And... he's excited to be signed up for another game in April. "
-Janice, parent

"Our 12-year-old loved being able to connect with real friends playing a cool game while we were stuck at home. I am so happy that this is an option for him while we all stay home. I especially like that there are adults moderating so that it's not too silly. It's a great way for semi-structured socialization!"  -Amy, parent

"THANK YOU SO MUCH for this! There were some technology issues at the beginning, but once things got rolling (pun intended), the platform worked well and the dudes were loving it. Gus was beaming at the opportunity to engage with his buddies and embark on this quest. The DMs were engaging and willing to entertain all tangents and absurdity. 

Gus took his headphones off early on and had it on speaker, so I could hear most of what was going on from my desk 🙂 Loved hearing them all connecting and being themselves - and getting some practice in the important skills of listening and taking turns. 
 
Gus is currently adding a green gem to his sword, Screamsong, to boost his acid power. 
 
Looking forward to the next couple sessions!"
-Zeb, parent
 

Rachel is wonderful at keeping the game moving along throughout stalls, technical hiccups, distracted kids etc. She is a pro, and the kids loved the experience!

I loved paying so much that I started thinking about it hours before it started. P.S it was my first time playing, I will remember every part of it!

Thank you for doing this! It’s my kiddos first D and D experience and her favorite part of the week.
