MacGuffin Generator

Are you working on an awesome suspense story where you need something (or someone!) for your characters to protect, search after, steal, find, run away with, cover up, uncover, etc.? It doesn’t have to be a treasure—a dying superspy slips something into your protagonist’s hands and endows her with a mission. But what is it?

You need a MacGuffin—an object that’s only important for how it’s used for the plot. And I just so happen to have one right here. . . .

Your MacGuffin is the . . .

No, not every combination will make sense. Still not satisfied? Retry the MacGuffin generator. Or direct your comments and questions here.
