Bench

Three players sit next to each other on a bench and tell different stories while staring forward. A player can interrupt another player’s story by associating with a word the previous player said and use it to start or continue their own story. Player 1: ”And then my wife left me and took all my possessions!” Player 2: ”I was in possession of the sacred book!” Player 3: ”So I booked a flight to Miami and then craziest things happened”. And so on.

Players can take over each other’s story whenever they want, they don’t even have to let the other player finish their phrase. However, make sure each player gets some time at the start to establish their storyline. After that, having more and more takeovers is great fun after which the players somehow how to find a climax for their stories. An extra challenge would be to have a climax where all three stories entwine.
