Behind the settings

Most players are perfectly happy with the presets. Click a mode, done. But for those who want to tinker: the lobby has a "settings" panel where you can toggle each part individually.

The three AI levers

  • Spell correction — typing on a phone? Turn it on. AI corrects spelling as you take your turn.
  • Rewrite intensity — off / light / heavy. On "heavy," the AI may rephrase your sentence into a fitting tone. On "off," your text stays exactly as you typed it.
  • AI bridging sentences — off / normal / wild. On "wild," the AI is allowed to invent absurd twists between your sentences.

Word-count cap for bridging sentences

You can set a word range per game for AI bridges — e.g. 3–20 words. Shorter means more readable at speed; longer gives the AI more room for flair.

Hide names

On by default. During the game you see "Someone" instead of real names. That gives you decision freedom: you don't know whether the sentence came from your best friend or your in-law, so you judge purely on the text. Names reappear in the reveal.

Rounds per player

1 (like Quick) or 2 (like Comedy). With 5 players and 2 rounds you get 25 sentences plus AI additions — plenty for a nice book.

Don't want to change anything?

No problem. Just click a preset. The Comedy default is well-tuned for most groups. Adjust later if you want something specific.
