Kids on Bikes is a tabletop role-playing game system, and a series of games that use that system. It has won multiple ENNIE Awards.




Publication history


The first game in the series, Kids on Bikes, was inspired by 1980s coming-of-age movies like The Goonies. In 2022, the second edition of Kids on Bikes raised $182,049 on Kickstarter from 2,793 backers.
There are three other games in the series: the space-themed Teens in Space, a game about a school for wizards and witches called Kids on Brooms, and a forthcoming superhero game called Kids in Capes. On February 10, 2023, the designers held a charity sale of Kids on Brooms with all profits donated to transgender rights organization Sylvia Rivera Law Project. This was part of a larger boycott movement against Hogwarts Legacy due to the anti-transgender activities of author J. K. Rowling.




Reception


Kids on Bikes won the 2019 Gold ENNIE Awards for Best Family Game / Product, and Kids on Bikes: Strange Adventures! Volume Two won the same award in 2020. Cass Marshall for Polygon recommended it for fans of Stranger Things.




Gameplay


Kids on Bikes character creation involves assigning standard roleplaying dice to each of six stats. Players and gamemaster construct the setting together.
The game features a mechanic to allow for a "powered" character like those from E.T. and Stranger Things. While Powered characters are similar to non-player characters, players are able to exhibit some narrative control over the actions these characters take.




In popular culture


The Kids on Bikes system has been featured on multiple seasons of the actual play series Dimension 20, including Misfits and Magic using Kids on Brooms, Mentopolis using "a 'noir-ified' version of Kids on Bikes", and Never Stop Blowing Up using a system "heavily inspired by" Kids on Bikes.
