About this script
An experienced player gives terrible advice to a beginner, who follows it perfectly. twelve messages, WhatsApp style, about 35 seconds as a video, and Raz kicks it off with "Welcome to the game. First rule: never use the map.". Raz and Lia carry the whole script, which fits the Free plan's two-person limit, and every one of them is made up. Free accounts can use WhatsApp without paying.
Pacing it beat by beat
Messages one and two, "Welcome to the game. First rule: never use the map." then "Why not?", set the scene. Message 1 is the longest (10 words): "Welcome to the game. First rule: never use the map.". Give it room.
The turn begins at message 10, "I am waving.". Move quickly through "You are doing great.", then hold "I am a snack." for two seconds. Three of twelve lines ask a question.
Making the video
The button below sends The New Player Guide to the editor, set to WhatsApp. Available here: typing dots, read marks, reactions and an online status. Show typing dots just before the last bubble.
Free plan: the first four messages only, ending at "Okay. Second rule?". The other eight need a paid plan. Caption it as a fictional chat. Everything here can be edited in the ChatsRat editor before you export.
Part two hook
Lia becomes the dragons' friend. That is the next episode. Let "I am a snack." be the last thing viewers see, and mention Part 2 in the caption.
Tips
- Say "Welcome to the game. First rule: never use the map." out loud at normal speed and trim it if you stumble.
- Keep Lia's "I am a snack." on screen for two seconds before the ending card.
- Give Raz and Lia fresh invented names; the gaming story then belongs to you.
- Publish the next gaming episode soon; a gap of more than two days costs viewers.
- Place "Why not?" on its own for a full second after the opener.
