Welcome to Broken Picture Telephone! The ultimate misinterpretation game!
The premise is simple:
The first person draws a picture.
The second person captions that picture.
A third person, which hasn't seen the picture, reads the second person's caption, and draws a picture.
A fourth person, only sees the last picture, and captions it.
A fifth person, only sees the last caption, and draws it.
And so on.
This sounds simple, but if you hadn't seen it before, prepare for the hilarity that ensues!
Here's some example games:
Exhibit A.
Exhibit B.
How to play:
1- Check that you are not 1 of the last 5 people that played on the thread, if you are, don't open any spoiler (game requires a minimum of 6 players).
2- If you aren't, the last post of the page will look like this:
Picture:
Or like this:
Caption:
If it's the former click it, and create a new post and post this:
Caption:
Here, insert your description of the image in a spoiler. The objective is to try to make the next person click your spoiler, read your text, and make a picture as close as possible to the original. But try to be brief! 2 lines should suffice for a description, most require a few words.
If it's the later, post this:
*Drawing picture*
Then, draw a picture in your favorite drawing program of the caption that you read, upload it somewhere, and edit your post so it looks like this:
Picture:
After you send something, you can read all the spoilers on the thread, but you can't read those posted after your post, until you can play again
You have 30 minutes to make a drawing and edit it on the post, if you see a *Drawing picture* last post there for more than 30 minutes, you can check the last Caption and start drawing yours! (in this case, the last picture on the thread stands, so only start drawing when you have the time!)
This is it!
Some notes:
- This isn't an art contest! Feel free to send a drawing of the caption regardless of your skills, the point is to see how the miscommunication is unstoppable, sometimes bad art helps with that
- otherwise, just make your best effort, and it'll suffice!
- If you are ninja'd (someone posts a caption just before you, or someone says they're drawing the caption just before you) just edit your post to say "Ninja'd", and ignore posts that say "Ninja'd".
- Please keep your drawings and captions SWF, and avoid making disgusting drawings or captions, and don't troll as that'd ruin the fun for everyone else.
So, I'll get the ball rolling with this!:
Picture
Now, someone captions it, someone else draws the caption... Don't open any spoiler until you can play! And off it goes! Have fun!
