How it works
One phone. Many surprises.
The twist is simple: players only see the previous line. What you write shapes a story nobody could have planned.
- 01
Gather your group
Play with 3–12 people around one phone. Add names so everyone knows whose turn is next.
- 02
Set up the game
Pick a story theme, player count, and number of rounds. Choose character or time limits — then tap Start.
- 03
Pass the phone
Each player adds to the story, taps Done, and hands the phone along. No peeking at the full story.
- 04
Only see the last line
The first player reads the opening scenario. Everyone else only sees what the previous person wrote.
- 05
Reveal the story
After the final turn, read the whole tale together — or let the app narrate it aloud.

“We thought we were writing a mystery. By round four it was a romance between a lighthouse and a raccoon. 10/10 would pass the phone again.”
