About Story Showdown
The ultimate storytelling party game
How to Play
1. Gather Your Players
Get 3-6 friends together. You can play online with separate devices or locally on a single device by passing it around.
2. Write Your Stories
Each player writes short stories based on an optional topic. Be creative, be funny, be mysterious - but try to disguise your writing style!
3. Guess the Author
Stories are revealed one at a time. Everyone guesses who wrote each story. Can you identify your friends by their writing?
4. Score Points
Earn 2 points for each correct guess. Earn 1 point for each person you fool when they guess your story wrong!
Scoring
Inspiration
Story Showdown is inspired by the hilarious Story Warz YouTube channel, where friends compete to write the funniest and most deceptive stories. We loved the concept so much that we built this digital version so anyone can play with their friends!
Check out their channel for some inspiration on how to play and what kinds of stories make the game fun.
