Pen and paper party games, without the pen and paper
Pen and paper games are the best kind of party game: everyone can play, there is nothing to learn and the results are funny. They also depend on a pen, a sheet of paper and someone to hold the folded pile.
Consequences is the classic of the type. Here it is on a screen, with the folding done for you.
What stays the same
- The seven lines are in the classic order: who, who they met, where, what they said, what the other said, the consequence and what the world said.
- You only see the line before yours. The rest of the story is hidden until the end.
- The stories are read out loud, one line at a time, so the group gets the reveal together.
What gets easier
- No pens, no paper and no handwriting nobody can read.
- The game keeps the sheets, so nobody can unfold one early.
- Friends who are not in the room can play too, from their own devices.
