Classic pick-up game.Over the Edge is another. Jonathan Tweet did a game like that at a con and taped it. It’s on YouTube.Eat the Reich comes with a simple premise and pregen characters. You’re up and running in maybe five minutes. As well as its precursor, Havoc Brigade.Paranoia is another. Players are not supposed to show knowledge of the rules, making it a classic black-box game. Character creation in XP is or can be random, there's an online character creator. All you do is hit "decant" and you have a random character to play. So inside five minutes you're up and playing.DCC RPG and MCC RPG both have random character creation and an online generator. So you're playing inside five minutes.Most one-page RPGs have minimal if any character creation, so you're playing in no time. Honey Heist, Lasers and Feelings, and any of the hundreds of hacks of those.Minimalist RPGs like 2400 and its many hacks take a little longer as there's some character creation, but nothing like D&D 5E. Maybe ten minutes at the outside. While a little more involved, many OSR games are super quick at character creation, if they're not randomly generated. So games like Mork Borg, Pirate Borg, all the X Borgs, Weird North, Knave, Into the Odd, Black Sword Hack...on and on and on.Captain's Log is a solo RPG by Modiphius for Star Trek Adventures. You don't need a group, just a spare few minutes and a desire to play. Mythic GM Emulator can turn any RPG into a solo RPG. Many other solo RPGs exist like Thousand Year Old Vampire and Colostle.Any game with random character generation you can be playing in a few minutes.Any game where the players trust the referee to run the rules you can be playing in a few minutes.Any game where the referee either procedurally generates content or improvises content you can be playing in a few minutes.</blockquote>
