Founder & Master of Games : Meet Emily

Hi there, my name is Emily!

I am a Game Master, which means will be running your game. Universal Dungeon games are a combination of my work as a day program instructor, and my experience as a Game Master. I wanted to create a version of my favorite games that adults of all abilities could enjoy. My passion is helping adults with disabilities tell their stories, and unlocking their creativity.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A Table Top Role Play Game is often played with friends in person. Players act as their characters, just like how actors play a character. Together, the Game Master has them solve problems, and players roll dice to see if they win or lose. Games are often set in fantastical worlds with magic, sword fights, and monsters straight from a storybook.

  • The founder of Universal Dungeon, Emily, decided to combine her hobby of TTRPG’s and her five years of teaching at a day program.

    The games are focused on storytelling, creativity, and teamwork. Emily has made changes to popular games so players do not need to read, write, or do math in order to participate.

  • Each game is $50 and lasts 2-3 hours. Players can private pay through Venmo or use Self Determination funds.

    For custom tables, workshops, custom character building sessions, and one shots prices may vary.

  • Head over to our “Start Playing” page to find open games. Pick an open table at a time you want to play, and enter your email.

    Emily will email you back to schedule a free video consult, and then clear you to start playing.
