The idea behind Next Chapter Title
Choose a setting, a prop, and an opening line for a story about a possible next chapter.
This game contrasts One Thing at a Time, There Is Room for You, The Map Had Another Side, and A Little More Space. Choose the scene you would enjoy, then compare the result with another route through the story. The scoring guide on this page shows exactly which themes each option supports.
Consistent, not predictive
Your choices add the points shown in the scoring guide above; a repeatable calculation resolves ties. The same answers return the same result. No answer can verify a fact, identify another person, or forecast a real event.
