Lantern Academy
An AI magic school RPG for you and up to 3 friends
First year at a floating academy of magic, and the exams are trying to kill you.
A round in Lantern Academy
Each player types what their character does. When everyone's in, the Game Master answers all of you at once.
Mina I read the whispering portrait’s warning aloud and sketch its symbols in my notebook.
Theo I grab the runaway exam bell before it drops us into that glowing hole. Probably.
The sky-ferry lurches as the exam bell skitters toward a bright tear in the deck, which is not listed on the orientation schedule. Mina, your quick sketch catches the portrait’s warning: “Ring twice to anchor the way.” The ink shines, and a golden line stitches itself across the gap. Theo, you dive for the bell and catch it by the handle just as your boots slide over the edge. The bell gives one enormous, indignant clang; the tear shrinks, leaving your hair full of harmless, glittering clouds. Somewhere below, an examiner applauds. What do you do?
How a game works
Open a room in Lantern Academy, share the six-letter code, and everyone makes a character. Each round you all type what you do; the AI Game Master rolls the dice for anything risky, keeps track of your money, belongings, health and skills, and tells one shared story that reacts to every player. It remembers what happened earlier, so choices come back around. Play solo on your phone, or with friends on a call.
