EQUISITE CORPSE is game invented by Surrealists that is modeled after an old parlor game. Andre Breton, the priciple founder explained that it started as entertaining game to pass time in cafes but moved on to being an enriching experience.

To play each player becomes a contributer to a collectively assembled image or a nonsence poem. A piece of paper is folded into thirds in such a way that only one third is visable at time. The first player draws a head on the top third. The paper is refolded to only reveal the middle third and is passed to the second player who draws a torso. The paper is again folded to reveal only the bottom third and the third player draws legs. Each player can only see the end of what the previous player drew. The final drawing is unfolded to reveal a funny collabrative creature.

Exquisite corpse was also played using words. It is played the same way as the picture game but instead of drawing a head torso and legs the player writes a noun, adjective, verb and adverb on the folded sections of paper. The paper is unfolded to reveal a nonsence poem.

This is a modernized version of exquiste corpse game which is meant to be played on computer. By refreshing the page, the body parts are randomly selected and a new creature is created.

There is also an area to contribute words. You are asked to fill in a noun, advective, verb and adverb in the form fields. After submitting them a random selection of words will create a collabrative nonsence poem that will appear below the pcture. The results should be funny or at least provide an entertaining experience.
