GENERATOR GAMES
30k Party: April 1 - May 31

New and created especially for this party! You may have seen similar generators floating around on the internet. These were created with the intent of using the book you are currently reading to find out your YA Fantasy Book Title and Whodunnit.

Just match the information on the graphics to your book and find out your very own title or the plot of your mystery!

Most versions use personal information such as your name and birthday but since this is a public site, we want you to protect your online identity!
