Play together
Put on a live, improvised show with your friends
A Watch Party is a story game for a group. One of you directs, an AI cast improvises the scene, and everyone watches the same beats arrive on their own phone or computer. Anyone can step into a character and say their lines, then hand the part back. It holds up to ten people, host included, and it’s free for everyone but the host.
How a Watch Party works
From the invite to the final curtain
Start a show for your group
Pick a cast and give them a situation. Your group gets a private room for the performance.
Bring your friends
Invite friends into your group, or send a link to someone new. They join free from their own phone or computer, with nothing to install.
One directs, everyone watches
The director cues the next beat and everyone watches it land, with a chat beside the stage for reactions. The director calls Final Curtain when the show is done.
Take a part
Anyone can step into an available character and write exactly what they say, then hand the part back.
Why it plays well with a group
Everyone in the same show
The cast plays off each other
Characters talk to one another, not just to you, so the scene can take a turn nobody in the room planned.
A seat for everyone
Take a character when one is free, or sit back and enjoy the show. Nobody has to perform to be part of it.
No prep needed
The cast improvises every scene, so nobody writes a script or learns lines. Show up and play.
Reactions have a home
Side talk goes in the chat beside the stage, so the performance itself stays clean.

A short tutorial follows friends into a show, from the invite to playing a character together.
Want a game with a goal?
Quests are a solo challenge: steer the cast toward a goal in a limited number of cues, and Colombina, the house critic, tells you how it landed.
