Mad Libs Game Coding Tutorial

Create your own game of Mad Libs with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This step-by-step tutorial will walk you through creating the Mad Libs form to accept user input, styling an HTML form, then accepting and generating a string based on form data!

What is Mad Libs?

Mad Libs are stories with words removed and replaced by blank spaces. Each player fills in the blanks for a fun story! Make sure to think outside the box. The wackier, the better! This game is fun for children and adults alike.

How is the game played?

Mad Libs is a simple game that only requires users to fill out a form. Once the form has been completed, a story (with their inputs) is created!

Mad Libs is an awesome project for new developers because it allows you to practice creating and styling HTML form elements, work with user input, and insert elements into the DOM with JavaScript.
