Pandasaurus Games is bringing French publisher Sorry We Are French's 365 Adventures series to North American shelves in September, and the concept is one of the more inventive hybrid ideas of the year. Two titles are confirmed: 365 Adventures: The Dungeon and 365 Adventures: Cthulhu 1926. Both are physical desk calendars that double as solo adventure games, played in roughly five minutes a day, every day, for a full year.
Stop juggling Meetup, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. One platform for your gaming group's events, RSVPs, and member management.
See how it worksSorry We Are French, the Paris-based publisher behind the original European editions, has spent the past few years carving out a niche for smaller, design-forward formats, and 365 Adventures fits that brief neatly. You flip the day's page, roll dice, make choices, track your hero's progression and gradually unlock new rules as the months tick over. Early January might give you a single skeleton to whack with a bonus action, while June is throwing dragons at you and August is asking which faction of cultists you want to recruit. The Dungeon turns each day into a fresh monster encounter, while Cthulhu 1926 has you working a detective through Arkham's darker corners, peeling back cult conspiracies and Mythos horrors one page at a time. Reviewers from Reviews from R'lyeh have had hands on the European edition and described the Cthulhu version as a clever low-commitment way to feed your Lovecraft itch without sacrificing a whole evening to a heavy investigation game.
Most narrative tabletop games demand a session you have to plan around. The 365 Adventures pitch is the opposite: desk furniture that asks for five minutes during your morning coffee and rewards you with a long-running arc you can pick up or skip. Sorry We Are French is also planning fresh themes each year, with 2026 builds adding to whatever you already own.
