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):

https://drawception.com/

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.
