“Trap Valley” - an adventure paper game.
Trap Valley, a Paper Game by Detuned Paper.
Paper games are video games created entirely out of paper! They are usually played with using a paper game console. To make the games as fun as possible, you should put your imagination to the limits!
Origins[]
The first known creator of modern paper games on YouTube was from IPGSGAMESYSTEM, (Isaac Cruz). Isaac created a paper game console called IPGS (Isaac's Paper Game System). With this console, he created a series of paper games .[1]
But, Isaac Cruz wasn't the first paper game creator! Many other people have made games on paper but in different styles; there are many motives of creating paper games: maybe someone wanted to create a game but they can’t code, maybe someone thought paper games are a good way to reuse paper, maybe paper games allow people to express themselves a different way than creating a real computer game, etc.
Paper Computer Games were created separately and have their own history and community. They are paper games, but not of the same type as those played on YouTube by Isaac Cruz and his successors.

After Isaac Cruz released his paper game system to the world, many people saw how awe-inspiring and amazing it was so they joined in. Various people created their own paper game systems and made paper games to go along with them. Here is small list of everyone known in the community who has made paper games (remember - if your not on it then please add yourself!).
