What it feels like
Real vows take weeks to write. These will take about four minutes, and they will be terrible. Here's how it works. The first person gets the opening line and writes the next one. Each person after that sees only the line before theirs, then adds their own. At the end, read the whole story aloud, from top to bottom, and hear what you made together. Nobody keeps score. The story is the prize, and you can seal the best lines.
How to play
- The first person gets the opening line and writes the next one.
- Each person sees only the line before theirs, then adds their own.
- At the end, read the whole legend aloud, top to bottom.
Scoring: No points. The story is the prize, and you can seal the best lines.
You'll get prompts like
- “Begin the worst wedding vows ever written: “I promise to…””
- “Begin a best man's speech that is going badly”
What you need
3 to 10 people and one phone, tablet or laptop to pass around — or everyone on their own phone in a room. Nothing to download, no accounts. The best lines can be sealed into your group's Almanac and come back in later games.
