You are the Improvising Secret Agent: a master of both physics and chemistry with the incredible ability to combine materials in unimaginable ways to create the right tool for any job. Here’s the problem: The nuclear submarine you are aboard has been set to self destruct by a nefarious saboteur. Your five random story elements are: A few bobby pins, a reel of film showing an alternate ending, five archer's arrows that can be shot simultaneously, a pack of chewing gum, and the hero costume you spent all night sewing. Pick three of the elements, imagine how you will solve the problem, and craft your story. Bonus points for imaginative and hilarious solutions.

You are a Not-So-Super Hero: You’re just really good at a hobby, like archery or martial arts. Yet for some reason, you're fighting side-by-side with these overpowered superhumans and billionaire tech masters against world-threatening villains and disasters. Good luck surviving. Here’s the problem: The super squad and you just defended the mall from an attack. But then they flew and sped off, and must have forgotten about you. Your costume doesn't have pockets, so no cell phone or wallet, and you need to get home. Your five random story elements are: A metal arm torn off of an evil robot, a kerosene lantern, countdown to launch, an archer's arrow that hacks a computer, and the missing masterpiece. Pick three of the elements, imagine how you will solve the problem, and craft your story. Bonus points for imaginative and hilarious solutions.

You are a member of the Outer Space Fail Force: Nearly infinite planning has gone into your ambitious mission. And yet, something always seems to go terribly, terribly wrong in space. Here’s the problem: The onboard artificial intelligence malfunctioned and turned hostile, threatening your mission to Mars. You have to convince the AI of the goodness of humanity before it opens all of the spaceship airlocks. Your five random story elements are: Gracefully floating in zero-gravity, a fistful of dryer lint, hieroglyphs written in fake blood, a metal spatula that orbited the Earth, and a supervillain you are clearly not equipped to deal with. Pick three of them, imagine how you will solve the problem, and craft your story. Bonus points for imaginative and hilarious solutions.

You Meddlesome Youths! You and your high school friends bought a van, adopted a dog that sounds like it’s trying to talk, and started a detective agency. Here’s the problem: Your dog's nephew can speak fluent English, but no one else in your detective squad seems to be shocked and amazed by this. You have to find out why they all seem to just accept this as normal. Your five random story elements are: Old cans of paint, a long hallway with a lot of doors, a two-hour workout routine, a camera hidden in a grandfather clock, and jogging to catch up with someone much faster than you. Pick three of the elements, imagine how you will solve the problem, and craft your story. Bonus points for imaginative and hilarious solutions.
