An unexpected character, a setting and a problem are your starting points. This collaborative storytelling game at Xircl asks your small group to build a story together, then adapt its ending when the host reveals a surprise plot twist. Perform it, narrate it, or turn it into a quick storyboard.

Begin with a six-word story warm-up, with small teams formed on the day. Draw your story prompts, spend 20 minutes building your story, then adapt your ending to the twist. Groups share stories lasting 60 to 120 seconds, followed by playful awards and a closing discussion.

Coming alone or new to Pune? You’re welcome. This session is for adults, and no acting experience is necessary. Choose to act, narrate, write, draw or direct. Everyone contributes at least one creative decision. Acting is optional, and nobody is pressured to perform or reveal personal stories. Positive, supportive reactions are expected.
