A '''random dungeon''' is a [[dungeon crawl|dungeon]] in a [[role-playing video game]] which is [[Procedural generation|procedurally generated]] by the computer using an [[algorithm]], such that the dungeon is laid out differently every time the player enters it, and a player often never plays through quite the same dungeon twice, as there are innumerable possibilities for how they generate. |
|||
Random dungeons are usually found in the [[Action RPG]] genre of games. Programs are also available that generate random dungeons for tabletop [[role-playing game]]s. |

Random dungeons first appeared in the [[ASCII]] adventure game ''[[Rogue (video game)|Rogue]]'',<ref>* {{cite book |

Random dungeons have followed video game technology through the advent of 2D and subsequently 3D graphics, although they still often rely on most of the same basic algorithms that were used when they used ASCII graphics.{{Citation needed|date=October 2007}} |
