Build Your Detective

A writing activity  ·  Show, don't tell

Six scenes. Six choices. No descriptions allowed.

Your detective will reveal themselves entirely through what they do.

How to play
  • Read each scene carefully
  • Choose the option that fits your detective best
  • At the end, you'll get a character profile and a show-don't-tell starter paragraph
  • Use it as inspiration for your 250-word introduction
