Loco Libs

Mad Libs that never run out

The paper pads always end. Loco Libs asks an AI for a fresh story on any theme, then hands the blanks to you and whoever is sitting nearby.

Why another Mad Libs

Mad Libs is a perfect waiting-room game, but the books repeat and the online clones are full of ads and stale templates. Loco Libs generates a new story for any theme you name, and keeps the fill-in-the-blank ritual intact.

Three steps to a ridiculous story

Type a theme, anything from pirates to pension reform. The AI drafts a short story with typed blanks: noun, verb, and friends. You fill them in without seeing the story, then read the result out loud.

Bring your own AI key

Loco Libs talks to Google Gemini using an API key you provide, stored only in your browser. There is no account on our side and no middleman reading your themes. A free Gemini key covers a lot of silly stories.

Made for the table

One device, passed around. Big fields for thumbs, one big button to reveal the finished story.
