When Apple released iOS 12, [Siri Shortcuts quickly became the hero](https://medium.com/justincox/siri-shortcuts-the-best-part-of-ios-12-8fbbc96ec007?source=friends%5Flink&sk=f50a88d7fd4b1ebe51c6256e323f578a). Shortcuts provided a level of development and creativity previously unavailable on a mobile platform.

Last month I published two shortcuts:

- [Daily Day One Entry](https://justincox.com/blog/2021/06/write-every-day-with-siri-shortcuts-and-day-one/), a shortcut based on [my three daily questions](https://writingcooperative.com/ask-yourself-three-questions-daily-to-become-a-better-storyteller-f86c66f82e03?sk=9792ffcd662ccb5727a309b1b408c621&ref=justincox.com) that creates an entry in the [Day One](https://medium.com/u/3175a53f8db6?ref=justincox.com) app
- [Daily Weight and BMI Log](https://routinehub.co/shortcut/837?ref=justincox.com) which expands the [initial proof of concept](https://medium.com/justincox/siri-shortcuts-the-best-part-of-ios-12-8fbbc96ec007?source=friends%5Flink&sk=f50a88d7fd4b1ebe51c6256e323f578a) I created when Siri Shortcuts released

Today, I’m releasing a new shortcut based on the class [Mad Libs game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad%5FLibs?ref=justincox.com) for children: ****SiriLibs!**

## SiriLibs

[**Download Now*](https://routinehub.co/shortcut/914?ref=justincox.com)

SiriLibs is the all the fun of Mad Libs brought to Siri!

SiriLibs is the ****FIRST** Mad Libs style game built for Siri Shortcuts!

Everything is verbal, so you get the added bonus of Siri mishearing you and twisting your words!

### SiriLib Features Include:

- Two original stories written by me. Over time I hope to add more.
- The fun of Siri not understanding what you say, causing an unintended laugh.
- [UpdateKit](http://www.mikebeas.com/updatekit/?ref=justincox.com) support. SiriLibs will automatically update each time new stories are added.

## SiriLibs Stories

For the initial launch, I wrote two complete stories highlighting words to turn into Shortcut variables. Writing the story in full helped the story make sense. Writing a super short (**less than 50-word*) story proved to be a fun challenge.

Here are the complete, original stories before the variables were added:

### Story One: The Girl And The Dragons

Once upon a time, there was a **GIRL* who lived in a **CASTLE*. The **GIRL* was **SAD*because life was **HARD*. Everyday **DRAGONS* **ATTACK*ed and caused **CHAOS*. Eventually the **DRAGONS* **LEFT* and the **GIRL* **DIED*. The end.

### Story Two: The Deadly Vegetables

Did you know **VEGETABLES* are **DEADLY*? They **GROW* inside your **LIVER* until one day they **EXPLODE*! You can **PROTECT* yourself from **VEGETABLES* by **WEARING* a **NECKLESS* made of **GARLIC*. And now you know!
