Abstract
StoryJam is an online six-player game for collective storytelling. It provides a virtual world where people collectively and interactively develop stories. The game includes game mechanics that are designed for engaging players in constructing narratives through teamwork. Stories inside the game are developed from regulated human-human collaboration and competition built upon specific game mechanics. The story content consists of multiple players' text inputs. This thesis document addresses the issue of how to facilitate collective storytelling through game mechanics. Several different aspects and benefits related to the implementation of collective storytelling upon this specific issue have been taken into consideration. The goal is to increase players' enjoyment and creativity, and encourage participation in collective storytelling activities in the form of online multiplayer games.
