Hey guys! I'd like to present a special project which I created for this wonderful community of Steamgifts - Steam Dungeons 3D.


Steam Dungeons 3D is a successor of my previous project - Puzzle Dungeons - which brings dungeon creation to a new level.

It is a project which I created specifically for Steamgifts community which allows anyone to create dungeons in a 3D environment, fully customize them, fill them with different events and objects, hide SteamGifts giveaways and share such creations with SG community by simply providing a link to the dungeon. All in a simple, intuitive way without a need to download any applications.

It is a creative alternative to current unusual ways of giveaway sharing like itstoohard or jigidi.

Check out the tutorial video to see how a dungeon is created (new version)

Check out the introduction video (first version)


Creating your own dungeon is simple and is done through the game itself - the project has its own Wiki page with useful information.


A little history


Steam Dungeons 3D (ex Dungeon Sandbox) is a part of my Steam Dungeons series. Many of you might already be familiar Steam Dungeons: it was first created in October of 2015 under Game of sWords name (and later Shadow Dungeons) and there have been multiple quest events where people could enter a dungeon and search for steamgifts giveaways while playing a role-playing game. People could share and find giveaways in such quests, but couldn't create create their own dungeons.

Here are some of the topics of previous quest events: Quest for Dungeon Heart #2 | Quest for Dungeon Heart #1 | Game of sWords 3.0

Dungeon creation feature was first introduced in Puzzle Dungeons which allowed to create own dungeons and fill them with giveaways. However, dungeon customization was very limited compared to the current Steam Dungeons 3D project and it wasn't too easy to create dungeons there as one needed to download a special Editor application and study a guide which explained how to create a dungeon with it which prevented it from being widely used among the community.

With introduction of Dungeon Sandbox (now Steam Dungeons 3D), which can be fairly called a successor of Puzzle Dungeons, Steam Dungeons became a series of projects consisting of Dungeon Sandbox (now Steam Dungeons 3D) ("casual" part where everyone can create and share a dungeon with a simple-to-study tools) and Shadow Dungeons (now Steam Dungeons RPG) ("hardcore" part, an RPG game where people can't create their own dungeons, but can share and find giveaways and complete exciting quests).

Steam Dungeons RPG currently has a big update in development, so Steam Dungeons 3D is the main active part of Steam Dungeons at the moment.

This is a Steam Dungeons website where you can read about both projects of the series


Browser compatibility


  • Steam Dungeons 3D currently works flawlessly in Chromium-based browsers like Chrome or Opera, and it is recommended to use one of them for the best experience.
  • Firefox is supported as well - it might have minor glitches, though they shouldn't spoil the experience .
  • Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge browsers are not supported.

Feel free to use Steam Dungeons 3D to create unusual and exciting events here on SG :)

New Dungeon up: Boo's Dungeon short one, hope everything works. 5 gas , level 2+.

Is it impossible to change the description after publishing? Forgot the level info in it, but when i try to edit it, it does not change anymore

Great! :) It should be possible to edit description even when dungeon is published. Is the field not clickable or changes do not apply after you confirm them?

By the way, I haven't noticed a hamster on your avatar until I saw the dungeon picture :) Do you really have hamster called Boo?

I had one ~16 years ago. Named it after the hamster from baldurs gate 2 (avatar from there). Maybe its time for Boo 2, could need a new pet

Oh, Baldur's Gate, a game I still need to play one day!
And hamster is a cool pet, it is a good idea to get Boo the Second :)

Hey Lal, glad to see you! Giveaways in the First Dungeon will finish in the middle of May.
Dungeons themselves will be playable at any time though. There are already 4 of them to check out :) Hope you'll get some time to explore them!

This is different from the usual dungeons that you probably remember, it's basically a new 3D system where the community can create dungeons for. The dungeons that are currently created are all relatively short, maybe ~10-20 minutes or maybe just 1 minute for some :p.

The controls are clunky because I had to click the directions but other than that everything works fine and you can do a lot with the simple features.

WASD or arrow keys can be used to move around, you might find it more convenient :)

Would it be possible to add the list of giveaways you received in the dungeon after completing the dungeon, like a list of treasures? I keep forgetting to do so every time.

Good old Game of sWords is still there - it was renamed to Shadow Dungeons and is now a part of Steam Dungeons series along with Dungeon Sandbox. It has grown quite a lot since you last tried it :) You can learn more in the Steam group announcements.

You can also find some information about my projects and my goals on my Patreon page.

Here is Shadow Dungeons website. I'm working on a big update there, but, in the meantime, you can try out 2 recent quests that use the latest version of the game.

Hi! First of all, I just wanted to say that I started playing your test dungeon and I thought it was pretty cool! :D

And secondly, I already cracked the three digit code for the door, but for some reason it still tells me that it won't open. Is that a bug, or am I just supposed to do something else?

There is! On the stats screen, you need to press the button at the bottom to rate the dungeon and get your completion prize.

By the way, I wanted to let you know that the dungeons work suprisingly well on a cellphone!

Of course it isn't perfect, since it's kind of tough to press the buttons on the top because of the way browsers work on cellphones, and there's no way to strafe here, but other than that it's perfectly possible to complete dungeons here. :)

bump for the creators challenge. Nice idea. Already own arkham knight and not much time this month anyway, so maybe next month i will take part :)

Tbh i am a little worried that the giveaway factor might effect the votes too much: Bad dungeon with a great train will probably get more plays and votes than a great dungeon with only 1 (bad) giveaway. Hope it will work out.
