How a Rhyma poem comes alive
A collaborative poetry game in four steps.
1
Pick up a poem
You'll see only the last line a stranger wrote. The rest is hidden. You have 3 minutes.
2
Add your line
5 to 66 characters. Rhyme it, break the rhyme, or swerve the mood somewhere else entirely. Then it flies onward.
3
Watch it travel
Your poem hops from writer to writer across countries. You won't see what they wrote until it comes back finished.
4
The reveal
When the last line lands, the whole thing unlocks. You finally see who wrote what, and where it all went sideways.
A 4-line glimpse of how it works.
A stranger drops you a line. You twist it your way and pass it on. Days later your phone buzzes: the poem is done. You open it, and four strangers have written something that almost makes sense.
"Shall I compare thee…"
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"
— Will_S_1599"Thou art more late than the 8:14 bus"
— InkSpiller"The moon, meanwhile, owed the cat money"
— LunaTick"So he filed the paperwork in triplicate"
— BureauCatEvery poem leaves a trail.
Your line was written in Kyiv, the next in São Paulo, then Tokyo, then a bedroom in Lisbon at 2am. When the poem finishes you get a map of everywhere it went and everyone who carried it.

Collect weird little pins.
You earn one for your first finished poem, for 100 km of poem-travel, for lines in 5 languages, for a 7-day streak, or for a line someone hit with 🔥. Some are bronze, some neon-rare, and they all sit in your profile like tiny enamel proof of strange poems you helped exist.

Questions, answered.
Everything you might wonder before your first line.
What is Rhyma?
Rhyma is a collaborative poetry game where every line is written by a human, never AI. You write one line at a time with only the previous line visible, and strangers around the world finish the poem with you. Once it's complete, the full poem unlocks, so you can see who wrote each line and how far it strayed from where it started.
Does Rhyma use AI to write poems?
No. Every line on Rhyma is written by a human. We don't use bots or language models to write poems.
How long does it take to write a Rhyma line?
You have 3 minutes per turn. Each line is 5 to 66 characters. Poems are 4, 8, 12, or 16 lines long.
What happens when a poem is finished?
When the last line lands, the whole poem unlocks for everyone who contributed. You see every line, every author, and a journey map showing every city it passed through.
Is Rhyma free?
Yes. Rhyma is free to play on Android, and the planned iOS version will be free too. Optional in-app purchases unlock boosted or unlimited energy.
