AI-native

Runtime generative AI is indispensable to the rules, adjudication, or progression.

AI-augmented

AI supplies production, explanation, classification, or scoring while the base loop survives.

Boundary

AI is central to the interaction, but stable goals, rules, or progression are weak or optional.

20 Questions (Wired neural)

Browser version of 20 questions where the AI infers your object via constrained yes/no decision tree, trained on a curated knowledge base.

How AI shapes play

A learned decision system chooses questions and infers the hidden object.

Details and classification rationale

Inference is essential, but this is classical decision-tree play rather than generative AI-native play.

Infinite Craft

Combine elements; the LLM names whatever the combination would be. Begins with water + fire + earth + wind and the player builds a custom dictionary.

How AI shapes play

A model adjudicates arbitrary element combinations and creates persistent discoveries.

Details and classification rationale

Removing generative adjudication would collapse the open-ended combination loop.

King Fall AI Adventure

Open-source LLM dungeon-crawler with persistent world state and inventory tracking, fully browser-playable.

How AI shapes play

A language model generates and adjudicates a stateful dungeon adventure.

Details and classification rationale

Runtime generation is required for world evolution, consequences, and progression.

Midjourney Bingo

Community-driven AI-art prompting game on Discord; players race to generate an image matching a daily prompt rubric.

Image generation produces the entries judged against a shared challenge rubric.

Details and classification rationale

The competitive loop depends on generated images, though rules are community-operated.

Model: Midjourney (proprietary)
