About the game

What you do in a play session

Get your best pitch ready, because Hollywood is calling! In Million Dollar Script, you and your friends step into the shoes of screenwriter teams fighting for a shot at greatness. Your mission? Convince a ruthless studio executive that your ideas are worthy of becoming the next-big-thing blockbuster. It's a race to see who can craft the most compelling story beats across the five traditional-storytelling stages.

Split into two teams, you'll compete to pitch-in-ideas for a shared-storyline movie. Each round, the-Exec listens to both-sides and picks the pitch they prefer. The winning idea becomes part of the movie's plot, while the losing one is tossed aside like a bad script. You'll be working with classic-trope-filled-structures—heroes, villains, and-epic-climaxes—to score points and secure that lucrative-writing deal.

This is a game of creativity, quick thinking, and a little bit of-acting-if-you're-brave-enough. It's fast-paced, hilarious, and perfect for players who love storytelling and social interaction. Whether you're a theater geek or just someone who loves a good-laugh, Million Dollar Script delivers a high-stakes-Hollywood-experience right at your table. Just don'1t take it personally when the Exec rejects your masterpiece!
