HOW TO PLAY
1

Everyone sits together in a circle, and one player begins by telling the opening line of a story.

2

The story passes to the next player around the circle, who must continue it with one or two new sentences that fit what came before.

3

Each player adds their own twist, often introducing a surprising turn or a new character to challenge the next storyteller.

4

If a player hesitates too long, repeats themselves, or contradicts an earlier detail, the group can call them out and pass the turn along early.

5

The story keeps circling until the group agrees on a satisfying ending, or until time runs out for the gathering.
