Frankenstories is a collaborative writing game designed for the whole class to "stitch a story together." In a game, everyone receives the same writing prompt. Players then dive into a timed writing round to craft their response, often adhering to a character limit like 280 characters. After each round, players vote on the responses. The winning responses are then "stitched in place," and the game continues for a set number of rounds (usually five) until a complete story is formed.
The game follows a core loop of "Write, Read, Analyse, Adapt" to promote cognitive load, social learning, and creativity. Frankenstories is generalisable, meaning it can be used for any grade, any subject, any text type, and any writing skill. Teachers get customisation and control, and there are hundreds of pre-made writing prompts available to explore.
