I built ScribblePadGames as a small offline project with my kid.

Why? Just imagine sitting in a restaurant waiting for food — the kids get bored, you don’t want to hand them your phone, and there’s nothing to do.

ScribblePadGames are tear-off notepads with simple pen-and-paper games like Battleships, Labyrinths, Boxes, or Soccer. They fit in a bag, need only a pen, and turn waiting time into playtime.

It’s 100% screen-free, ad-free, and AI-free — just a bit of analog fun we designed together.

We’re currently testing different game sets and packaging ideas. Feedback on the concept, design, or even the “offline-first” philosophy is very welcome.

You should look into multi-player paper battleship as it plays any number of players and plays in the same amount of time (depending on board size).
