How to do it
- 1Start by collectively defining the setting and introducing one main character.
- 2The first participant begins the story with one sentence or short paragraph.
- 3Each subsequent participant must continue the story from where the previous one left off, ensuring the plot flows logically (or hilariously illogically, depending on the mood).
- 4Continue rotating until the story reaches a satisfying conclusion. Read the complete story back aloud.
