Who Wrote It?
We'll spotlight answers from the story. Guess who wrote each one. Authors score when they stump you.
The party game
your group writes.
Everyone fills in secret blanks on their phone. Plotluck turns your answers into a brand-new story, reads it aloud, and makes a game out of it. No downloads, no two rounds alike.
Host a game
Got a code from the big screen?
One round, about ten minutes
One screen everyone can see, and the phones already in your pockets.
- 01
Open a room
Put Plotluck on a TV, laptop, or a shared screen on a video call. Friends scan the code with their phones.
No app, no accounts. Three to eight players.
- 02
Fill in the blanks
Everyone gets different blanks: a food, a feeling, someone in the room. Nobody sees the story yet.
Tap a suggestion or type your own. Your words stay secret until the reveal.
- 03
Hear your story
Your answers become a brand-new story, read aloud on the big screen.
Every story is written fresh from your group's own words, so no two are alike.
- 04
Play it
The story turns into a mini-game: guess who wrote what, spot the forgery, finish it, or survive it.
Four games rotate through each session.
- 05
Score and share
Points, bragging rights, and a link to the story with everyone's words in their own color.
Nothing is saved unless the host shares it.
Four games, built from your story
Each round, the story you just heard becomes the game you play. They rotate, so a session never settles into a rut.
- a cursed VHS tape
- a trench coat full of raccoons Fake
- lukewarm soup
Fake or Real
The writers' room slipped its own answer into your story. Spot the fake. If your real answer gets picked, you score for being that weird.
…and then the landlord took one look at the ghost and said
“You still owe me rent from 1789.”
“Is that my sweater?”
Finish the Story
Write the last line, then vote for the best one. The house wrote an ending too, so don't let it win.
Plan: distract the dinosaur with interpretive dance
It works. The T. rex weeps, then joins in.
“I hide.” You hide in the dinosaur's mouth.
The Judge
Your story ends in peril. Write a plan to survive. The Judge rules on every single one.
Pick a vibe
Five story packs to start, each with its own cast of disasters. Or shuffle them all.
Road Trip Gone Wrong
Gas, snacks, and catastrophic decisions.
Office Awards
Celebrating excellence in barely trying.
Haunted House Party
Ghosts, goo, and questionable decisions.
First Date Disaster
Love is in the air. So is smoke.
Heist Night
The plan is perfect. The crew is not.

Questions
Does everyone need to download something?
No. The host opens Plotluck in a browser on the big screen, and everyone else joins from their phone's browser with a four-letter code or by scanning the QR code. You can also add Plotluck to your home screen or desktop like an app.
How many people can play?
Three to eight players. Bigger groups can share phones in teams of two.
Can we play over a video call?
Yes. The host shares their screen with the game on it, and everyone joins from their own phone.
Is it free?
Yes. Hosting is free for up to three games a day, and players never pay. Groups who play a lot can get Plotluckier for $4.99 a month: unlimited games, every new story pack, and longer games.
Who writes the stories?
Your group does. Your answers are woven into a brand-new story by an AI writer, every sentence is checked before it reaches the screen, and if anything fails a check the game uses a hand-written classic version instead.
Is it safe for my group?
The host picks Family (G-rated) or Standard (PG-13) mode. Every answer is filtered before anyone sees it, the host can remove players and swap in the classic story at any moment, and players must be 13 or older. Details in safety.
What happens to our answers?
They live in memory for the length of the game and are gone when the room closes. A story is only saved if the host shares it, and shared links expire after 30 days. See the privacy policy.
Everyone brings the words.
