HOW TO PLAY

Telephone Drawing

Recover the phrase from its gloriously distorted sketch.

SETUP

Get ready

A rotating artist draws a private phrase; the room captions it; a second artist redraws one caption without seeing the original.

HOW TO PLAY

Take your turn

  1. The first artist submits a drawing.
  2. Other players write what they think it shows; the first caption is passed to the next artist.
  3. The second artist redraws that caption, then the whole chain is revealed side by side.
WINNING

Finish on top

Every chain contributor scores; an accurate middle caption earns the largest bonus. Highest score after five rounds wins.

QUICK TIPS

Play smarter

  • Draw bold shapes that survive interpretation.
  • Caption exactly what you see, not what you think the prompt probably was.
