.. a different Slot machine to create stories based on random stimuli with your mates!

Instructions

Divide yourselves into groups of 6/7 people.
Play a game with the Slot Machine.
You will receive 3 stimuli, or inspirational elements. They might be images, videos, sounds, flavors, smells.
Those stimuli will trigger your imagination: what did they remind you of? To what meaning is that particular sound (image,etc.) associated in your experience?
Discuss with your groupmates about what the stimuli represent for you: negotiate the meanings. This process could last for the whole game .
Based on those stimuli and what they represent for the group, create a story. No limits.
Write your story in Archive your Story.
Tell the other groups what your story is about, referring to the stimula.

P.S: If you're at home, to start the game you need to pick up 3 objects of different solidity, put them in 3 bags and label them 1,2,3. Do the same with smells: you'll find lots of them in your kitchen, in the bathroom or in the garden.
