A dark reimagining of the original game by Stuart Candy and Jeff Watson. The Thing from the Future is an award-winning ideation and imagination game created by the folks at the Situation Lab and designed to get players to dream up and describe artefacts from a wide range of possible futures. You can learn more about the full game (this is a radically slimmed-down version) and the Situation Lab here.
Every time you visit this page, we'll give you a prompt (almost like a future-focused Mad Libs) that will push you to imagine something that exists in a unique — and possibly uniquely weird — and uniquely dystopian future. Think of this as the halloween-version of the original game…
Trigger Warning: Some of the randomly generated “things” might trigger you and can be quite dark. Please use caution!
