How to play
1Start the story
The wheel picks who starts. Write the opening, about anything.
2Keep it going
Each writer only sees the last few words before theirs.
3Keep going or end?
After one lap, everyone votes.
4The reading
A narrator reads the whole story out loud, with sound effects. Each part shows who wrote it.

Scoring
- No points. Just a story nobody planned.
Quick example
“The night the lights went out, Nour heard a knock at the door.” Next: “They opened the fridge and found a tiny door behind the milk.” Then: “It was a pizza delivery guy, but nobody had ordered pizza.” Title: Midnight Pizza.
Tips
- End your part mid-sentence. It’s chaos for the next writer.
- Bring back a character from the start.
- Add a sound effect for the narrator to play.
