Let’s play Consequences

Remember Consequences? That game where you’d write a couple of lines of a story, cover up half of it and pass it on to the next person to continue?

We thought we’d bring it back to celebrate National Storytelling Week, which lasts from the 1st to the 8th of February.

We wrote the same beginning on three separate bits of paper and passed them on: one in our New York office; the other two on the second and third floors of our London office.

The results take us from button-obsessed Queen Boreen to a magical wish-granting psychic via a golden, one-eyed unicorn. We’ll be posting all three stories on this blog over the next few days, but be warned: we’ve never seen stronger proof that writing by committee doesn’t work.
