Each person takes a turn choosing a word for one of six questions, in this order.
#Man's name
#Woman's name
#Place name
#He said to her…
#She said to him
#The consequence was… (a description of what happened after)
#An outcome
Then the story is read (for example):
<nowiki>Scary Michael Jackson met voluptuous Buffy the Vampire Slayer at the Zoo. He said "You are delicious", she said "Hit me baby one more time". He gave her a red rose, she gave him cholera. The consequence was that they eloped to Mexico. The world said "the femme fatale will always win".</nowiki>
It is traditionally played by writing the words on paper and folding the paper to hide the previous words before passing it to the next player.
