You Meddlesome Youths! You and your high school friends bought a van, adopted a dog that sounds like it’s trying to talk, and started a detective agency. Here’s the problem:
Your van broke down near a deserted town. The manager of the only motel warned you of the gigantic and terrifying bird that injured Sheriff North last week in the nearby woods. What is going on here?
Your five random story elements are: A tactical flashlight, a full-body seaweed monster costume, liquid solutions of salt and pepper, holding a superhero's stuff while she deals with the threat, and a framed photo of the estranged uncle.

You are a Not-So-Super Hero: You’re just really good at a hobby, like archery or martial arts. Yet for some reason, you're fighting side-by-side with these overpowered superhumans and billionaire tech masters against world-threatening villains and disasters. Good luck surviving. Here’s the problem:
You've been captured by gangsters, and they are beating you senseless. The superheroes are apparently too busy to help. You need to escape the ropes they tied you up with before they come back for round 2.
Your five random story elements are: Latex surgical gloves, a kick so hard it breaks three of their ribs and your femur, a tube of pureed bananas, an archer's arrow with a spy camera on the end, and a fireplace passageway to another room.

You are a member of the Outer Space Fail Force: Nearly infinite planning has gone into your ambitious mission. And yet, something always seems to go terribly, terribly wrong in space. Here’s the problem:
After unloading the resupply craft and packing it up with all of our trash, it failed to detach from the space station. The additional weight could pull us out of orbit! (Not to mention the smell.)
Your five random story elements are: A zero-gravity sleeping bag attached to the wall, werewolf costume gloves, rusty rebar, punching with both hands simultaneously, and the kind of madness that only five weightless months can inflict.
Pick three of them, imagine how you will solve the problem, and craft your story. Bonus points for imaginative and hilarious solutions. Record yours at SoManyProblems.com, and we might include it on our weekly recap podcast. Or post a short video on TikTok or Instagram and tag @SoManyProbsGame.
