Alice Is Missing is a GM-less, text-message game where players roleplay friends of a missing girl against a timer. Most reports describe an urgent, emotional session. It works best when the table treats it as collaborative improv, not a mystery to solve.

Players who ran or played Alice Is Missing mostly describe an intense, urgent, often tearful session. The timer and text-message format drive it, and it works best when everyone commits to roleplaying. A few tables found it less emotional than the hype suggested, were confused about the goal, or had the mood broken by players who joked around. 19 firsthand · 37 comments
People who played Alice is Missing mostly report that it works well once they understand it is a story-driven roleplaying game and not a puzzle. Setup is long, and a couple of players were put off because the marketing led them to expect a mystery to solve. 8 firsthand · 13 comments
The only firsthand reports are the original poster and one commenter who played twice. They enjoyed the group-chat roleplay but felt let down because the ending (where Alice is and who is responsible) comes from a random card draw that nothing the players said or did could affect. Much of the thread is debate from people who may not have played, and a long tangent about For the Queen, which was ignored. 2 firsthand · 16 comments
The thread is mostly about how to run Alice is Missing over Discord, and only two commenters describe having played it. Both were positive: the original poster loved an online game with strangers, and another commenter ran it on Discord and Roll20 and called it a perfect fit for online play. 2 firsthand · 24 comments
Only the original poster describes playing Alice is Missing. They were doubtful about it beforehand, then found it more immersive than any RPG they had played, and it led them to look for similar games. The rest of the thread is recommendations for other games, such as Dialect, Dread, Brindlewood Bay and Fall of Magic, with no other play reports of Alice is Missing. 1 firsthand · 20 comments
The thread is almost entirely about other games. Its only firsthand report of Alice is Missing is the original poster's, who says the group loved it, especially the equal say everyone had in the story. The one drawback was that five players felt small and some couldn't attend. 1 firsthand · 30 comments
