The Exquisite Chicken: play to create ideas
The Exquisite Chicken is a framework that encapsulates a wide variety of creativity-based games. Like the surrealist games of the early 1900’s, The Exquisite Chicken uses random juxtapositions of concepts to stimulate creativity. However, most of the old surrealist games used random juxtapositions to generate the final product—a poem, a picture, or a story. The Exquisite Chicken uses random juxtapositions to generate prompts, to which players craft responses. Furthermore, Exquisite Chicken games are more structured than their surrealist counterparts, and can be played competitively. But the ultimate focus is always on laughter and fun.
