The Inheritance of Bolus Phimus
A downloadable game
Unravel a Forgotten Legacy in The Inheritance of Bolus Phimus
When the reclusive mage Bolus Phimus mysteriously dies, his heirs are quick to claim his bizarre dungeon as part of their inheritance. One such heir hires the party to retrieve the deed supposedly hidden in a secret chamber deep within the dungeon’s odd layout of endless repeating chambers.
But this is no ordinary dungeon. As the adventurers delve into its strange geometry, they’ll face spinning doors, two-headed dogs with social anxiety, and a jacuzzi that wants them dead. The party is often forced to split up and explore separate rooms, each facing the dungeon’s oddities alone.
Submitted for the TTRPG One-page Dungeon Contest Jam 2025, The Inheritance of Bolus Phimus is a system-neutral adventure for low- to mid-level parties. It blends puzzles and combat with an unusual twist: players are often forced to split up and explore alone.
Will your party survive the legacy of Bolus Phimus or become just another eccentric footnote in its long, dangerous history?

I love the layout and dungeon wide puzzle but I think there is an error somewhere or the sequence is incorrect
The numbers don’t indicate the next room you need to go to directly. Instead, each room represents a die face (1 to 6), which is the sequence order. Inside each room, you’ll find a number that number tells you which room to go to next.
Ok, I understand now. The wording seemed a bit confusing.
My attempt at rewording it to make sense for me:
"The die face of the room represents the spot in the sequence the number found in that room goes to. For example, the number 6 found in the die room face of 3 means the 6th room is 3rd in the sequence. "
Thanks.
thanks for the tip, I altered it with your suggestion in mind.
