Interesting how similar this is to my family's favorite game: pictograph.
1. You start by describing a thing.
2. The next person draws a picture of it.
3. The next next person describes the picture.
repeat steps 2 and 3 until everyone has either drawn or described the picture.
You then compare the first and last description... and look over the pictures.
One of the best ever was:
Draw a penguin. The first picture was a penguin with a light shadow.
After going around five rounds, the final description was "a pidgeon stabbed with a fork in a pool of blood in Chicago"
I'm still trying to figure out how Chicago got in there.
There are a couple versions of this online that i've played on and off over the years which are hilarious, especially when playing with friends (I would usually use a cheap wacom tablet and let everyone take turns drawing and let the room shout out descriptions and just mash that together):
There's a few others but these were the quickest to get into and didn't require finding a group to play with, since they just pair you up with strangers.
