How a game goes

Everyone starts by writing a sentence. The sentences are passed around: you draw the one you receive, the next player describes that drawing in a sentence, the next draws that new sentence, and so on. Nobody sees a whole chain until the end. In the last round, each story is revealed from start to finish, and the table votes for the ones that made them laugh the most.

Which team, and when

Players: 2–20 players. Length: ~15 min.

You draw with a finger on a phone or with a mouse on a computer, so it works in the office or remotely, and on a video call everyone watches the stories unfold together. It's a party game for the end of the day, an after-work session or the start of an offsite, and it's included in the free plan.

Why it works with colleagues

A sentence becomes a drawing, then a sentence… until total nonsense.

Nobody needs to be able to draw: the laughs come from what the sentence turns into as it goes from hand to hand, and you flip through the album together at the end.

Drawing skills don't matter: the laughs come from what each sentence turns into as it changes hands. Everyone adds to every story, and the album is flipped through as a group.
