9 itemsAbout the Game
Write short stories about 4 random words:
You get 4 completely random words - like: Baguette. Insolvency. Grandpa. University - and have to write a short story about them. Surprise your friends with creativity, chaos, or pure nonsense! If you’re feeling creative, you can also let the game assign you a random genre (like crime or romance)...
Use items to mess with your friends
During the Write Phase, you can earn a variety of items by winning typeracer minigames. Use them to disrupt other players in creative ways - for example:
a revolver to knock someone out for 10 seconds
a story switch that forces you to continue another player’s story
a letter lock that blocks specific keys for a short time
a fish that adds some fish to the story of another player
Type fast and have fun!
