Ever played the game '[Broken] Telephone'?

[Anachronism]

The one where a message is passed along a series of individuals to see if the original message reaches the end of the chain, although it usually doesn't but it end up being somewhat hilarious sometimes?

Well, then you may enjoy this great waste of time:

Broken Picture Telephone

It's like [Broken] Telephone but with pictures and written words. For example:

Hope this hadn't been previously linked/discussed.

I've played it in real life and on the xkcd forum. However on the xkcd game, we were doing it so everybody had a message/picture that they were passing around, and it quickly got......complicated.

We call it telephone pictionary. it is my favorite game in the world.

It is a fun game, forged from the harvested awesome glands of fetal Awesome Bears.

Yeah we call it Telepictionary. I fully concur that it is kick-awesome.


The way we play it, each person starts with a stack of paper, and writes a pictionary idea on the top piece. Then you hit start on your auto-resetting timer (set to twenty or thirty seconds), and everyone passes their stack to the left (or the right; doesn't matter). Then you take the stack that was passed to you, read what was written, move that piece to the bottom, and draw it on the top piece. When the timer beeps, you slide the stack over, take the picture on the top of the stack you get, move the picture to the bottom, and write what you thought the picture was. Rinse and repeat until you've gotten back to where you started.

Greatest party game in ever.

"Broken Picture Telephone"?

Why wouldn't you just call it Broken Television?

God, I hate people.
