Hello. We are a group of 5 friends, and are proud to present the Ghost Game at https://ghostgame.io
We used to play this spoken word game in college. It was a fun way to pass time as a parallel thread in our conversations.
We wrote up a blog post about it here: https://kienme.medium.com/building-ghostgame-io-a-multiplaye...
Get on a call, create a room, and play with friends, family and coworkers. Remember, the conversations are an integral part of the experience!
Let us know how you like it.

Hello there. Public rooms sound nice, so you can join in with random people. Thanks for the idea.
Although we do want to keep the focus on this being a social game. Something you play on discord or at work with people you know. So a bot somewhat takes it away from it.

The idea is to continue the word fragment by adding a letter, but always keep a larger word in mind. If the next player believes you have completed the word or there can be no word beginning with that prefix, they can challenge you.
We worked on this as a neat little side project. It's built on simple FE stack (HTML, CSS, JS) and uses Firebase in the backend to maintain the game state and logic.
