A couch-and-phone party game built around the kitchen-fridge magnet board. Everyone gets an assortment of words. Build the funniest, weirdest, or most heartfelt prompt response in 90 seconds. Vote. Laugh. Repeat. Phones are the controllers; the TV is the fridge.

Twelve Canvases. A limitless bag of words.</h2>Terrible Poetry is a local-multiplayer poetry game for 1–12 players. One screen — your TV, laptop, or projector — becomes a shared kitchen fridge. Everyone else joins from their phone by scanning a QR code. No app install, no accounts, no friction. Just a browser.Each round, the game presents a prompt — &quot;A breakup letter from summer to autumn&quot;, &quot;Can you tell me how you got this stab wound?&quot;, &quot;I stumped WebMD when I listed these symptoms&quot;, whatever the night calls for — and deals every player a pile of magnetic word tiles. You drag them around your phone screen into a poem. The room watches the boards fill up in real time on the TV, with no one able to read anyone else's words until the timer runs out.Then comes the reveal. Each poem is read aloud and the room votes. Best poem wins the round. Best across all rounds wins the night.<h2 class="bb_tag" >What makes it click</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>It's actually fast: Connect-to-playing in under a minute!</li><li>Phones are the only controllers: Everyone already brought one!</li><li>Moddable by everyone: A built-in editor lets you add your own tiles and prompts — wanna add the latest meme or your own inside jokes?

I believe that if you buy a game, you should own that game forever- No take-backsies! This game is DRM-free, though by its nature it does require a connection to a server for most functionality. My pledge to you: Before the official server is retired or the game is no longer supported, the full server source package will be made available with a full guide so that you can run your own server wherever you'd like, without restriction. It's what every publisher should do.This is a small game made by a lifelong gamer. It's not procedural, it's not AAA, and there are no microtransactions or season passes. You launch it, you laugh with your friends, you close it. If that sounds like the most appealing thing you've read in a Steam description today — yeah, me too.
