A drawing-and-text chain game that goes hilariously off-rail
A relay game where you pass on a topic using drawings or words. Interpreting the previous person's drawing/word and re-encoding it in your own way drifts the meaning surprisingly far. At the end, all entries are shown in chronological order so everyone can see how the original prompt transformed.
Pick the game mode and time limit. With "no limit," the round won't advance until everyone is done. Only the room creator can change settings.
Each player enters one prompt. Use an in-app prompt or write your own. Prompts are dealt to other players in random order. With 10 players, 10 prompts run in parallel.
On your turn, encode the displayed content. You only see the previous player's input — nothing earlier. Drawings and text are not shared mid-game. When everyone hits Done, the next phase starts.
After the game, all entries are shown in chronological order. You can see at a glance how the original prompt drifted. Result reveal is timed so everyone sees it at once.
Every player provides one prompt at the start
Each prompt cycles around the players
On each turn, you either "draw a picture" or "type a word"
You only see the previous player's input when it's your turn
No discussion or hint-giving during the game
