Welcome to Prompt Roulette
Prompt Roulette is a simple way to invite spontaneity into your evening. Each card tells you what to do next—no planning, just pulling and following.
Before You Begin
- Best for 2–10 people
- Mix prompts that involve writing, drawing, moving, or talking
- Decide how many rounds you want to play
Flow of the Game
1. Set Up the Deck (10 minutes)
- Write or print short prompts on cards (e.g., “draw your day in 3 lines,” “share a song you love,” “write a 2-sentence story,” “stretch like a cat”)
- Shuffle and place them in a bowl or box
2. Play Rounds (30–45 minutes)
- Take turns drawing a card and reading it aloud
- Everyone follows the prompt together or the person who drew does it—your choice
- Move through prompts until you’ve reached your chosen time or number of rounds
3. Close the Game (10 minutes)
- Ask each person to share a moment or prompt they enjoyed
- Collect cards for future nights or invite people to write new prompts
Variations & Ideas
- Theme deck: All prompts based on creativity, reflection, or movement.
