AI Dungeon is a single-player/multiplayer text adventure game which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate content and allows players to create and share adventures and custom prompts. The game's first version was made available in May 2019, and its second version (initially called AI Dungeon 2) was released on Google Colaboratory in December 2019. It was later ported that same month to its current cross-platform web application. The AI model was then reformed in July 2020.

Gameplay
AI Dungeon is a text adventure game that uses artificial intelligence to generate random storylines in response to player-submitted stimuli.
In the game, players are prompted to choose a setting for their adventure (e.g. fantasy, mystery, apocalyptic, cyberpunk, zombies),[5][6] followed by other options relevant to the setting (such as character class for fantasy settings).[7]
After beginning an adventure, four main interaction methods can be chosen for the player's text input:[8]
Do: Must be followed by a verb, allowing the player to perform an action.
Say: Must be followed by dialogue sentences, allowing players to communicate with other characters.
Story: Can be followed by sentences describing something that happens to progress the story, or that players want the AI to know for future events.
See: Must be followed by a description, allowing the player to perceive events, objects, or characters. Using this command creates an AI generated image, and does not affect gameplay.
The game adapts and responds to most actions the player enters.[9] Providing blank inputs can be used to prompt the AI to generate further content, and the game also provides players with options to undo or redo or modify recent events to improve the game's narrative.[10] Players can also tell the AI what elements to "remember" for reference in future parts of their playthrough.
Aigame Content
In addition to AI Dungeon's pre-configured settings, players can create custom "adventures" from scratch by describing the setting in text format, which the AI will then generate a setting from.[8][5]
These custom adventures can be published for others to play, with an interface for browsing published adventures and leaving comments under them.
Multiplayer
AI Dungeon includes a multiplayer mode in which different players each have their own character and take turns interacting with the AI within the same game session. Multiplayer supports both online play across multiple devices or local play using a shared device.
The game's hosts are able to supervise the AI and modify its output.
Unlike the single-player game, in which actions and stories use second person narration, multiplayer game stories are presented using third-person narration.
Worlds
AI Dungeon allows players to set their adventures within specific "Worlds" that give context to the broader environment where the adventure takes place.[14] This feature was first released with two different worlds available for selection: Xaxas, a "world of peace and prosperity"; and Kedar, a "world of dragons, demons, and monsters".
The first version of AI Dungeon (sometimes referred to as AI Dungeon Classic[15][16]) was designed and created by Nick Walton of Brigham Young University's "Perception, Control, and Cognition" deep learning laboratory[9] in March 2019[8] during a hackathon.[17][18] Before this, Walton had been working as an intern for several companies in the field of autonomous vehicles.[9]
This creation used an early version of the GPT-2 natural-language-generating neural network, created by OpenAI,[19][20] allowing it to generate its original adventure narratives.[21] During his first interactions with GPT-2, Walton was partly inspired by the tabletop game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), which he had played for the first time with his family a few months earlier.
