The Rules of the Exquisite Corpse Game: Start with the given word in the box that says "The story ends with: Welcome to the Exquisite Corpse! This is a collaborative writing game where multiple authors build a single, continuous story—without knowing the full context of what came before them. The goal is to create a surprising, surreal, and often hilarious narrative where the segments may clash in style, but flow together by a single hidden word. 1. The Objective The primary goal is to write a single segment of the story that logically follows the provided clue and leads the narrative in a new direction. The game continues until the Host decides the story is complete. 2. How to Play 📝 Your Turn: Read the Clue: At the top of the submission box, you will see "The story ends with: ... [Last Word]". This single word (or very short phrase) is your only clue about what the previous player wrote. Start from the Clue: Your segment must logically follow the provided word. You must start your sentence or paragraph where the previous one ended. Write Your Segment: Write a cohesive paragraph or sentence that advances the plot, introduces new characters, or changes the scene entirely. The longer and more surprising, the better! Submit: Click the Submit Segment button. Your text is instantly added to the story, and the very last word of your segment becomes the clue for the next player. 🚫 The Golden Rule: You can only see the last word of the previous segment. Embrace the mystery and let your imagination run wild based only on that one word. 3. Game Status Playing: The current story is active, and submissions are welcome from everyone.
