Summary
The Horseshoe is a long-form format that opens with a single, central scene. From there, the players spin off related scenes — backstories, the fallout of what happened, or threads that share a theme. The shape is non-linear, like a horseshoe: the show arcs away from that first scene, then curves back to it or to a related ending.
How to Play
- Play an opening scene.
- Play a series of scenes that connect back to the opening one.
- Keep the structure non-linear, arcing away from the opening scene's themes or characters and then back toward them.
Required Materials
- Nothing needed.
Purpose
Explore one central idea or theme through a web of connected scenes, and stretch your non-linear storytelling.
