Invokyr dice and idols: the full list

What this page is

This is the data table behind the beginners guide: every die the community has tested, its good and bad roll, the dispenser rules, the curses that ride on dice, and every idol value and carry effect.

Ludogram publishes none of these numbers. Everything in the tables below is player-tested and comes from community guides that were checked against each other; only the single-use rule, the “more than a dozen dice” count and the existence of cursed idols are official.

The movement die and the 5-in-6 rule

Two different things are called “dice” in Invokyr:

Die	Where it comes from	How often
Movement die	The board, in the game room	Every board cycle; you pay idols to unlock the next roll
Special dice	Drawers, containers and tables in the manor; dispenser machines	Single use. Most follow the same risk profile

Special dice are the ones that can betray you:

• 5-in-6 — good roll: the die does what its name promises.
• 1-in-6 — bad roll: the effect misfires, reverses, or is replaced by a chaos event such as lightning, fireworks, an explosion or a minor monster spawn.

That is a 16.7% failure chance on a die you may have carried across the manor. Practical consequence: spend utility dice where they fail safely, and stand clear of the landing point when someone throws.

Every confirmed die

Die	Good roll	Bad roll / caveat
Heal	Circular healing area: living players inside recover 50 HP, dead players inside revive with 10 HP	Requires players to be inside the circle
Resurrect	Revives one random dead player, even if the body was left in an earlier layout	Spawns a Player Mimic that can use dice against you
Fire	After a short delay the landing area ignites; burns flammables and some monsters	Fire starts immediately
Storm	Delayed lightning strike at the landing point; damages players or monsters and can ignite ground	Lightning strikes immediately
Freeze	Immobilises the entity hit for several seconds	Ground at the landing point catches fire
Cocoon	After a delay, entities near the impact are cocooned for seconds; players can struggle out	Cocoon activates immediately — teammates included
Chaos	Activates one of the six effects printed on its faces	The face decides, not you
Teleport	Teleports the thrower to the landing point	Spawns a minor monster there, usually a Dress Mannequin or Penguin
Antigravity	Large sphere of reduced gravity; float across gaps and carry idols through it	Spatial: the die must land where you need the effect
Scanner	Radar pulse reveals interactables through walls and doors; idols, players and monsters glow green	Information only — no damage, no escape
Rally	Teleports every player to the landing point	Can drag a teammate out of a safe position
Lantern	Portable lantern; drop it as a marker and recolour it with the scroll wheel	A light source, not a weapon
Thread	A thread rolls toward the game room, giving you a route back	A route only; monsters can follow it too
Cube	Large movable cube for reaching high ledges	Dispenser-only: sold in the shop
Firework	Fireworks bounce around the room and explode; touching one deals 1 damage	Dispenser-only; the bounce is unpredictable

Dice dispensers

A dispenser produces the die type shown on top and recharges as soon as that die is used, so it is effectively unlimited. The dispensers found loose in the manor are usually Scanner and Cocoon. Cube and Firework dice come from dispensers bought in the shop instead of from pickups.

Cursed dice and curses

Board rolls can land on a purple curse face instead of a plain number. The curse then applies to some or all players until the next movement phase. Two tested curses:

Curse	Effect
Flashlight Disabled	Affected players cannot use their flashlights
Shared Damage & Healing	Damage and healing are mirrored across the whole squad: if one player takes damage, everyone does

Idol values

Idols are the toll on the board, not a score. Each material is worth a fixed amount, and the board asks for a total, so a gold idol can cover a bronze-and-silver demand.

Idol	Value	Notes
Bronze	$100	The common payment
Silver	$150	Mid tier
Gold	$200	High value; carry it home rather than gambling it
Diamond	$300	Rare; material rarity rises the further from the game room it was found

Two economy details players often miss:

• Feeding extra idols to the board after the next movement die is unlocked can spawn up to three movement dice at once — but you can only use one. If the offered die is cursed or low, more idols buy another option.
• Unused dice can be destroyed in the shop’s Dice Burner for $35 each. Dice produced by dispensers cannot be burned.

Idol effects

Every idol also has a carry effect. The effect runs while you hold it and stops when you drop it. Idols found further from the game room roll up to a better material, so the same idol type can appear as bronze close to the board and silver further out.

Material	Idol	Carry effect
Bronze	Normal	No effect; eyes glow orange
Bronze	Ice	Frost field at your feet: everyone inside, including you, slides as if on ice
Bronze	Miniaturizing	You shrink and your voice pitch rises
Bronze	Mirror Controls	Movement and aiming controls are reversed
Bronze	Mirror Environment	Your vision flips; controls stay normal
Bronze	Teleport	Every time you pick it up you are moved to a random spot in the manor
Silver	Blinding	Your vision radius shrinks; the area around you goes darker and quieter
Silver	Music Box	Plays music and rotates its head; at random intervals it glows red and spikes deal 20 HP damage to the holder
Silver	Spider	Grows legs and runs away from the first player who picks it up; catch it to stop it escaping
Silver	Other Player Eyes	You see through another random player’s eyes; with no other player alive it behaves like a Normal idol
Silver	Fire	Shoots flames in front of you while slowly spinning you left or right; ignites flammables and can kill some monsters
Gold	Storm	Repeated lightning strikes near the holder; damages players and can ignite the ground
Gold	Chaos	Regularly ejects random dice, usually damaging ones, in front of the holder
Diamond	Cursed / special	Rare; material value $300, and some special idols carry unique effects
—	Game Master’s Soul	The final-trial idol. No carry effect; it must be sealed into the board to finish the run

Handling rule: pick up an unknown idol in a lit room with a teammate watching the corridor, and drop it the moment the effect makes the route unsafe.

Dice questions

How many dice are in Invokyr?

The Steam listing says the launch build has more than a dozen dice; community guides document 15 distinct special dice plus the six-sided movement die. The lists agree with each other.

What is the best die in Invokyr?

Resurrect for a new squad: it revives a random dead player wherever they fell and auto-revives its carrier once. Heal is the best pure recovery die, and Scanner solves the “where is the idol” problem.

What is the bad roll chance on a die?

1-in-6 (16.7%) for most dice. The bad roll either reverses the die’s own effect or fires a chaos event: lightning, fireworks, an explosion or a minor monster spawn.

Can you reuse a special die?

No. Special dice are single-use. A dispenser recharges after its die is used, so a dispenser is the only repeatable source.

What are idols worth?

Bronze $100, silver $150, gold $200, diamond $300 in community testing. The board asks for a total value, not a specific idol.
