Friends contribute privatelyYou approve every detailNothing personal invented

Three steps, one evening of admin at most

The details worth keeping are small and specific — the soup, the eleven falls off the same route. Those only exist in the heads of the people who were there.

01

Send one private link

Each person adds one true thing you will miss about them, from their phone, without making an account. They only ever see their own contribution.

02

Approve every detail

You see who sent what, reword anything clumsy, and block whole topics. Nothing reaches the room until you have said yes to it.

03

Print it or play it

Around 24 rounds, every one traced back to a contribution. Print on A4 or US Letter, or run it from the guests' phones.

A complete example, start to finish

Léa moves to Montréal

A leaving do for someone who is only going to claim she will visit constantly. This example is invented— no real party, and nobody's stories but ours. It is here so you can check every round against the contribution it came from.

What three people sent in

  • Marc · flatmate of six years

    Léa made the same tomato soup every single time anyone in the flat was ill.

  • Inès · colleague

    She learned Portuguese in a year purely so she could argue about football with her neighbour.

  • Tom · climbing partner

    She fell off the same route at the climbing wall eleven times before finishing it on 2 February 2023.
