Broken Picture Telephone

Remember that telephone game as a kid? One person would start a message and then whisper it to the next kid and eventually it would morph and change based on how they heard it? Now imagine doing it on the internet but instead of whispers you use text and pictures, alternating back and forth. That is exactly what Broken Picture Telephone is.

The concept is one almost everyone is familiar with, you can set it so you only have to write or only have to draw (I’m not much of an artist. And it’s not very hard to play. I write what I see in the picture, then a few hours later I get and email to say that it’s finished and I go back and read the entire thread from start to finish.

It’s just as humourous as when I was a kid except now you know if someone was being a jerk and randomly changing things. And then you report them and they get banned. Oh, and you can play like 15 games at a time. Definitely going to keep playing around with it until I get bored.
