Carl & Donut’s Bookstore Crawl
A story-based game for Dungeon Crawler Carl fans: five bookstores, one afternoon, a catty sidekick, & no guarantees your team will survive.

On August 8, the floor opens.
Assemble your team for an afternoon crawling across five St. Louis independent bookstores — completing challenges, collecting loot, and earning XP at every stop. The Syndicate is watching. So is Donut. Only one of them is rooting for you.
A story-immersive, city-wide adventure designed for Dungeon Crawler Carl fans. The Syndicate tells us it’ll be one of the best times you’ll have all summer.
Contracted dungeon stops include FIVE independent bookstores: Left Bank Books (which is the first stop of our Crawl,) Leviathan Bookstore, Subterranean Books, Read a Book STL, and Novel Neighbor.
✅ Build your team of 2–4 Crawlers (or travel solo – no sidekicks to complicate things!) and choose your start time for this 3-hour self-guided crawl.
✅ Once you’ve entered, the Syndicate will send you “The Crawler Survival Kit” on August 1, which has everything you need for your, ahem, adventure.
✅ Crawler space is tight for this one, so don’t delay on purchasing your entry.
Prizes awarded. Goblins possible.
You’ll absolutely survive!
Well, probably.
OK YOU’LL DEFINITELY MAYBE SURVIVE!
