March 11, 2012 - Quiet, you!

You can now mute people in chat. To do so, simply click on the player's name on the score list. Their name will turn black and all their chat messages will vanish. Clicking the name again will undo this.

December 31, 2011 - Redirection problem fixed

I found that some devices that do not have Java capabilities were getting auto-redirected to Java's website whenever they tried to load the game. I have made a change that should prevent this from happening.

Also, the images to the right should once again display correctly in Internet Explorer

How to Play

Words That Follow is a multiplayer game of photo captioning. Getting started is easy! Choose a name for yourself and then create or join an existing game. Once the game has 3 or more players, everyone will be shown a photograph. You will have a limited amount of time in which to come up with a creative, witty, or brain-meltingly terrible caption for the photo.

Next, you are shown a list of all the captions that the rest of the players wrote. All you have to do is choose the best (or the one that hurts the least). Make sure you choose one, though! If you don't vote, you can't get any points yourself.

At the end of the round, all the votes are counted and you gain points for each vote you received. Initially, votes are worth 1 point each. After 3 rounds, they increase to 2 points. In the final round, each vote is worth 3 points!

In addition to the extra points in the final round, players are also presented with a special rule that should be followed. These can include writing a caption that sounds like a Public Service Announcement or creating a caption that fits a given acronym.

So, why are you still reading? Start playing!
