How do you play Rory's Story Cubes?

To play Rory's Story Cubes, throw the dice and roll all nine cubes. Start with “once upon a time” and look at the symbols. Use these symbols to make a story that connects each image. Then, follow your imagination! The story can be short or detailed — the only rule is to use all the images. You can play alone or with friends, taking turns to add to the story. Rory story cubes is a fun and simple game that helps boost creativity and can be played with different themes or rules.

Here's a step-by-step guide to playing Rory's Story Cubes:

  1. Roll the Cubes: Roll all nine rory story cubes to reveal nine different symbols.

  2. Observe the Symbols: If you don’t get any ideas, think about your favorite movie, travel memories, fun moments with family or friends, or even a TV show or book — it could be anything!

  3. Create a Story: The symbols can mean different things to different people, so trust your first idea — it’s usually the best one. Start with “Once upon a time...” and use the symbols in any order to make your story with rory story cubes.

  4. Take Turns: If playing with others, take turns adding to the story using the next symbol.

  5. End the Story: Conclude the story once all the symbols from rory story cubes have been used.
