Finish the Storyline

Finish the Storyline is the classic game of Consequences (also known as exquisite corpse, pass the story or folded story) for 2 to 12 players in the same room. No internet, no accounts, no data collected: the phones connect over your own wifi. Everyone writes a line, then passes on just the words that start the next one. Nobody sees the whole story until you read it aloud together at the end. It is never the story anyone expected. The old paper game, on the phones already in the room: everyone writes at once, and the ending is read aloud together. Everyone writes every round. No turns and no waiting. Every phone in the room writes at the same time. Hand on a few words, not the line. You finish your line, then write two to five words to begin the next one. Only those words travel. The ending is read aloud, together. Nobody sees the whole story until the end, when one person reads each one out to the room. Keep the stories you love. Save the best of the night and share them as a card. The rest are gone when you close the book. The phones connect to each other over local wifi, or one phone's hotspot, so nothing you write ever leaves the room. No server, no analytics, no tracking, and no account to make. The game needs no internet at all. The whole game is free. One optional purchase unlocks extra themes and story packs, once, with no subscription.
