Story Shuffle: Conversation Game Rules

Story Shuffle game cover

2–12 players

Free, with no login or installation. Each player needs their own phone or computer and an internet connection. Share the room link or six-character code privately. New players can join only in the lobby.

Rules

  1. Join a room and let the host start the game. Each player gets one turn per lap.
  2. The current speaker or host reveals three panels: when, where and what kind of story.
  3. Tell a memory that fits the prompts. You may redraw or pass if you have no story or do not want to share.
  4. After all panels are open and the story is finished, continue to the next player. Passing can skip a turn without opening all panels.
  5. After one lap, the host may play again or choose another game in the same room. Speech is not recorded or saved.

A conversation starter without a right answer

The three panels give you a time, place and kind of story. Use them as a starting point for a short memory, then pass the conversation to the next player. You can redraw or pass; nobody needs to share an embarrassing or private story.

Play together, nearby or online

Each friend joins the same room on their own phone or computer. If you are apart, use your usual voice or video call for discussion; the game does not provide a voice call. Try the solo demo first to learn the controls, then create a room in English and share its invitation link.

Language and privacy

The room language is fixed at creation and applies to every player. Create a new room to change it. Your own text is never automatically translated. Use the general guide for room setup and reconnecting.
