Celebrate Halloween & Craft Scary Stories With Friends in Write Warz

Co–op DEMO out now on Steam; leaving Early Access Q1 2025

OVIEDO, Fla. – Oct. 23, 2024 – Boltz Entertainment’s Write Warz – a party game where participants work together to create silly, serious, or seriously terrifying stories – is celebrating Halloween with a full demo and plenty of collaborative scares! Hop in to craft sentences, vote on plot twists, and shape legendary tales with up to six friends.

 

In Write Warz, you collaborate on hilarious, wild, or strategic stories over several rounds. Take turns adding sentences to a shared narrative, then anonymously vote on the best contributions. The game combines creativity, competition, and strategy, making every session unique. With a blend of creative writing mechanics and character-specific abilities, Write Warz is designed for casual players, storytellers, and party game enthusiasts alike.

 

Fresh off winning a second Indie Playground Audience Choice Award at DreamHack, Write Warz is the first of its kind in the competitive storytelling genre. Whether you’re outwitting friends, crafting epic tales or breaking through writer’s block, each session brings something new to the table.

 

Write Warz was inspired by a storytelling tradition that began on a Navy aircraft carrier in the 1970s, bringing that same sense of shared creativity to the digital age,” says Richard Boltz, CEO of Boltz Entertainment. “The sailors at the end of each shift would add sentences to a story in a journal. By the end of the week, the crew would gather to hear the completed story, full of unexpected twists and turns. Now, Write Warz captures that magic in a competitive, fun, and fast-paced game where everyone’s creativity shapes the outcome.”
