Game masters act as creative minds for their players in Dungeons & Dragons to provide their players with special experiences. A user on Reddit now shares his unusual idea, which is very well received by the community.
What idea does the game master have? User Ogskive opens his thread on Reddit with the words: “I am preparing to play the longest D&D game of all time… in meters.” Because for his group, he is planning a short story where the players only have to do one thing: walk straight for a very long time.
And that for a very long time, because the map on which it all takes place extends over his entire hallway, making it several meters long. How many meters exactly, the user does not specify, but as the attached photo does not hint at the end and leads into another room, it is likely to be several meters.

Of course, the players do not just have to walk, as many challenges will stand in their way. Just because the hallway where the players are located is only 3 meters wide and tall (Ingame thus 10 feet in each direction), some challenging situations are likely to arise during battles.
The long map is to be divided into different sections that will offer different terrain and various challenges such as combat and puzzles. There will also be “break” sections for resting and role-playing. What is thus lacking in exploration directions will be made exciting here through the sections.
How exactly they are supposed to look, the user of course does not reveal, so that his group is not accidentally spoiled. However, he promises a follow-up post with more details. His idea is well received in the comments.
“You should build mimic tiles”
How does the community find his idea? Under his thread, there are not only over 7,900 likes (as of June 27, 2025, 12:15 PM) but also numerous comments. Among them many who celebrate his idea, but also some who have tips on how to improve it even further:
- Grouchy-Bowl-8700 says: “With my blind human monk with the blind-fighting style, who acts as a lawyer, I would be unstoppable here!”
- Daetok_Lochannis jokes: “Final Fantasy XIII Tabletop Edition”
- King_of_the_Dot suggests: “This whole thing needs a door with an endless staircase behind it, but when they turn around, it’s only two floors to the entrance/exit.”
- clayoban comments: “You should build mimic tiles, but they only come to life when they walk backward. If they give up in the middle of the hallway, it will hurt.”
- The_Bat_Ham compares: “Feels like Snowpiercer at 100 times the scale. Fun concept!”
- Hyde_in_Plain_Sight wonders: “Now twist and connect the two ends and seal them in a Möbius strip where they can wander forever without safety in sight. Screw it, I’ll do it myself.”
In the now over 330 comments, there are numerous players who would like to participate in such a round, but also some who had a similar idea and had a lot of fun with it. At least on Reddit, the user’s concept is well received. Whether his group will also have fun with it and what awaits them there, user Ogskive at least wants to share in a later post.
That the concept of Dungeons & Dragons can also be something for everyone is proven by the well-known streamer and YouTuber Ginny Di, as she plays D&D for the first time with her 97-year-old grandmother.
