Broken Picture Telephone

Posted by Miss Cellania in Blog & Internet on February 8, 2009 at 8:22 am



This online game is like the old telephone game, except with pictures. It starts with a post-it note describing a scene. The first player draws the scene. The second player only sees the picture the first player drew, and write what they think it is. The next player draws a picture illustrating the previous player’s words. Players only see what the one player previous drew or wrote. But after eleven steps (ten players), you can see the whole game. In fact, anyone can see completed games, like the one shown. Some games stay close to the original scene, but some stray strangely far afield. Link -Thanks, DaMamaJama!

    I vaguely recall something else like this a while ago, only it didn't have a post-it note background.

    This is fine, but people tend to try and throw twists into these, making the it a little less genuine.

    Also known, would you believe, as "Eat Poop You Cat".

    you need an account so they can email you results, they take a while to filter threw, cause of the stages, and you don't get to choose where in the game you start off at. still waiting for a few of mine to finish, and see how my superb drawing skills get interpreted, lol.

    Here's one I started, with "Spongebob Goes To Disneyland" that has a fun ending.

    And here's one that started off as "Prying Open An Old Cookie Jar" that I found as "Two Boy Clams Meet A Girl Clam" and ended up in Pac Man glory.

    This game is much more fun with about 10 friends sitting in a room and a couple of beers.

    They are fixing the bugs and should have an improved version up Feb 16, including players being able to rate and comment on completed games.

    Site is back up now - unfortunately the old games were lost, but the 400+ games that have finished in the last 30 hours are ridiculous! Less bugs and more features! I think I did at least 20 games last night...
