Council of Chaos

A family-friendly game of mismatched problem solving.

Goal: Take on a ridiculous secret role, pitch an in-character solution to the AI’s bizarre problem, and vote on the funniest idea.

How to Play

  1. AI Assigns Secret Roles
    Each player gets a private role to embody for the round.
    Roles range from sensible to completely absurd:
    • Pirate
    • Royal advisor
    • Angry raccoon
    • Sleep-deprived wizard
    • Time-traveling dentist
    • Robot CEO
      Roles should spark fun, not seriousness.
  2. AI Presents the Problem
    The AI sends the council a new crisis:
    • “The moon fell down.”
    • “The castle’s plumbing has become sentient.”
    • “Someone replaced the king with a balloon version.”
    • “The national fruit turned into cheese.”
  3. Players Give Their In-Character Ideas
    One by one, players offer their solution based entirely on their secret role.
    • Cowboy: “We lasso the moon back up.”
    • Scientist: “We’ll deploy the gravity reverser.”
    • Raccoon: “I chew the pipes until they respect me.”
    • Royal advisor: “I request a royal decree about balloon replacements.”
  4. Players can act, gesture, whisper dramatically — anything that matches the role.
  5. Open Voting
    After all pitches, players vote for their favorite idea.
    • You can’t vote for yourself.
    • Tie? Both tied ideas win the round.
      The vote isn’t about strategy — it’s about which idea made the table laugh the most.
  6. AI Resolution
    The AI describes what happens when the winning plan is attempted.
    Resolution should be fast, fun, and surprising:


    “The wizard’s sleep spell backfires and makes the entire council nap for six hours.”

  7. Next Round
    New roles → new crisis → new chaos.

Variant: Open Roles

Roles are revealed up front instead of kept secret.
Players lean into their characters in a more performative way.

Variant: Team Chaos

Players split into two groups.
Each team collaborates on a single in-character plan, then present both plans.
The AI resolves what happens to each team’s scheme (often disastrously).


End of the Game

This game doesn’t require scoring — it can continue for as many rounds as the group wants.
If players want a winner:

  • Vote at the end for “Most Legendary Role,” “Funniest Character,” or “Best Chaos Causer.”

Otherwise, just keep playing until the council collapses from laughter.
