Inside the game

How your choices shape this result

The answer weights below are the rules used by this game. Add the points from your chosen options; the outcome with the highest total wins. These points express our game design, not a measurement of you or anyone else.

When outcomes tie, a repeatable calculation chooses between them. Names can affect that tie-break; they do not reveal private information. Percentages, initials, ages and dates in outcome titles are authored parts of the story, not calculated probabilities or forecasts.

Explore the possible outcomes

You can read every outcome before playing. Compare a theme with a real example from your life, and keep any part that gives you a useful question.

The Overplanned Little Adventure

Your comic finds humor in the gap between a perfect plan and a small real event. The character can adapt without being punished for caring.

A prompt to try: Draw a plan interrupted by one harmless surprise.

The Two-Ways-to-Read-It Comic

Your comic uses a difference in interpretation to create its turn. The ending lets both characters see why the other version made sense.

A prompt to try: Write a friendly misunderstanding resolved in three panels.

The Object-with-Its-Own-Agenda Comic

Your comic gives one object a consistent impossible behavior. The payoff feels earned when the reader can recognize the rule by the end.

A prompt to try: Give an object one funny rule and follow it.

The Quiet-Recognition Comic

Your comic trusts a small observation to carry the ending. A changed expression or repeated detail can do the work of a large punchline.

A prompt to try: Tell a gentle three-panel story with minimal dialogue.
