Do you want to be funnier, more confident and more creative?
Do you want to make up crazy stories and play hilarious characters with your friends?
Do you want to develop the "Yes, and.." technique that professional actors and comedians use?

StoryLine is a fun 2-4 person game where you create short stories together while including random words. While the moving line’s on your side, it’s your turn, but as soon as it crosses the centre your friend takes over the story from the very next word you might have said. Speed the turns up for chaotic brainstorming or slow down for deeper characters and plots. Control the number and difficulty of the random words, set each other up with ridiculous characters and situations, video and share your hilarious stories with the world.

Try all four game variations for free and then buy the Pro version with 3000 words, more time and the ability to create your own Word Packs.
