Description

What is this?

Cryptid (Mis)Communication is a silly game where you and a friend who haven't seen each other in a while pretend to be cryptids - creatures that have not been proven to exist. Since you're cryptids, you have to stay far apart from one another, otherwise you won't be very mysterious! The goal of the game is to catch up while keeping your distance.

Making yourself up as a cryptid is half of the fun. The other half is shouting from 200 feet away.

Playing Cryptid (Mis)Communication is a lighthearted, sweet, and silly time to help you connect with a friend who you haven't seen in a while and have a good laugh. And to wear the biggest, brightest, boldest outfits that no one has gotten to see for over a year.

Rated G for GAY general audiences - yes you can play this with your kids! There is no foul language of any kind and is a fun romp for all ages.


This game operates on Machine Age Productions' Olivia Hill rule, which is: NO FASCISTS ALLOWED. If you are a bigot you cannot play this game. It is against the rules. Heal yourself before engaging.

This game knows that Black Lives Matter.

This game fights for Trans Liberation Now.

This game was written on Powhatan land.
