Exquisite Corpse Index

Exquisite corpse is a party game originating in the early 1900's and originally popular among surrealists. These days we play a version updated for the internet, and usually with a pokémon twist: everyone who participates writes one scene of an ongoing story, while only being able to see the last two sentences of the scene before theirs. The stories that emerge are wacky, unpredictable, and always a good time! We always cap off an exquisite forpse by reading it over our Discord voice chat, then posting the complete story here on the forums for everyone to enjoy. This index collects them all in one place to make it easy to check out what our authors have been up to over the years.

We usually run a yearly set of exquisite corpses during the summer months (sometime in June-August), so if you'd like to get in on participating in our next batch, keep an eye on the New and Events forum around that time! Until then, feel free to browse our corpse collection below and enjoy the stories produced in years past.
