Blind words. Big laughs.

A fill-in-the-blank story game for any group

Story Blanks hides a short, funny story and asks you for the missing words. Everyday mishaps, party toasts, school field trips, Christmas chaos and an 18+ After Dark pack: more than 50 original stories, each one written to be funny whatever words you pick.

How to play

  1. Pick a story pack and a length. Party Mix is a safe start; Christmas and After Dark (18+) are picked on purpose.

  2. The phone asks for one word at a time, like a plural noun, a body part or the name of someone here. Nobody sees the story yet.

  3. Stuck? Tap the dice for a random word. In Pass around, each player fills their own words behind a cover.

  4. When the last blank is filled, one person reads the finished story out loud, page by page.

Three ways to play

Read aloud. One person holds the phone and asks the group for each word. It is the classic way, and it works on road trips, at dinner and on your own.

Pass around. Add players and the blanks are shared out. Each player fills theirs privately, then everyone gathers for the reading.

A Room on every phone. The host opens a Room and friends join with a code. Every phone fills its own blanks, the story appears on every screen, and the group crowns the funniest word.

Great for classrooms

Every word type comes with a short hint and examples, so nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs click without a lecture. Teachers can find printable stories and classroom tips on the stories for kids page.
