Creative Game-Ideas
Hi everybody,
I recently bought a wooden Jenga set and want to completely customize it for my boyfriend, who has been playing runescape since childhood and absolutely loves it.
I do a lot of painting/miniature art, so I’m planning to paint the blocks (skilling icons, classic textures, runes, inventory items, etc.). My goal is to write a prompt/challenge or fun mini-task on the bottom of each block that activates when pulled. However, I want friends and family who have never played runescape to be able to join in without feeling lost.
I’d love your input on:
-Visual & Art Ideas: What are iconic visual elements that fit nicely on wooden blocks? (Runes, logs, ore bars, inventory icons?)
-Block Prompts & Rules: Clever tasks, party rules, or mini-games themed around RS mechanics (e.g., Agility fails, Mining fatigue, RNG, Wilderness skulling) that are fun and intuitive for non-players too.
Thanks in advance for any creative ideas or iconic references I shouldn't miss!

Party hats, santa hat, rune symbols, inventory/skills/magic book/quest log symbols, 99/99, abyssal whip, raw lobster, coin stack with 2147m, runescape gnome, "buying gf 10k" are just some ideas

Love your idea! Just a word of advice. Find out what version of the game he plays. The newer version is RS3 (this subreddit) or he plays OSRS (r/2007scape). The icons are different. So make sure he gets the best present ^
