Text or Die

Text or Die is a competitive party game that challenges players to write the longest possible answers: each prompt must be answered with as much text as you can devise so your tower grows and you escape the rising waters. The core loop is simple but tense; longer responses build your structure while shorter ones risk elimination, so creativity, vocabulary and stamina matter when rivals try to outlast you. Text or Die turns a basic writing prompt into a survival mechanic, making it appealing for groups who enjoy social competition and inventive wordplay.
