A step-by-step guide to play the game

1

The principle is to create a drawing by several people, without others being able to see what has been done before.


For each drawing, you can choose a whole theme (a character, an animal, an object, a plant, a face, a monster, etc.) or let your imagination run wild for ever more funny drawings!

2

Take a sheet of paper and fold it into four strips

  • The first player draws the head on the first strip from the top and then hides it by folding the strip.
  • The second player draws the bust of the man on the second strip without seeing the first strip, and then hide the second strip by folding the sheet.
  • The third player draw the legs and then hide them.
  • The last player draws the feet.


Discover all together the superb exquisite corpse that will be the result of everyone's creativity!

Variations

Variant 1

Cut pieces of paper of the same size. Everyone draws different heads, busts, legs… We mix the heads together, the busts together, and the legs together and we draw one of each to create a wacky character!


Variant 2

Those who are more comfortable with writing can also write a story! Instead of drawing, each player writes a short sentence and folds the sheet, the next player writes another sentence and so on. We can then read the story aloud to everyone!
