FAQ
Everything people ask about Storybored.
Is Storybored free?
Yes. Signing up and writing stories with friends is completely free. Optional point top-ups (from £1.99) unlock fonts, colour palettes and AI illustrations.
How many people can play?
Between 2 and 8 writers per story. The classic format is 2–4 — small enough to keep momentum, big enough to stay surprising.
How do I invite friends?
When you create a story, you get a short share code. Send the code to anyone — they enter it to join your private room. There is also a public lobby for matchmaking with strangers.
Can I write with strangers?
Yes. The public lobby lists open stories that are looking for writers. Filter by language and number of players, then jump in.
How do points work?
Every writer earns 10 points when a story is completed together. Points are spent in the shop on fonts, colour palettes, AI illustrations and other perks.
Can I write in my language?
Storybored auto-translates the interface into Spanish, French, German and Japanese. Stories themselves are written in whichever language your group chooses.
Can I print the finished story?
Yes. Completed stories can be exported as a PDF, styled with the font and palette you've unlocked, and printed as a keepsake.
Is there a mobile app?
Not yet — Storybored works in the browser on mobile and desktop. A dedicated app is on the roadmap.
Who made Storybored?
Storybored is built by William Francis, a small UK-based studio focused on calm, collaborative games.
