Broken Picture Telephone - Time Waster

Remember that kids' game, Telephone? You tell something to someone, who tells it to someone else, and so on. The message gets repeated incorrectly, and the person at the end of the line hears something completely different from the original message. Well, Broken Picture Telephone is like that, but online and with pictures.

Words and drawings alternate, which adds even more possibility for error into the game. If you've ever played Pictionary, you know how hard it is to guess what other people's drawings are supposed to be. That's what Broken Picture Telephone is counting on, to turn "Pirate fights Ninja" into "Three People Dancing for a Taco." You can check out the site to see how that one worked, and sign up so you can play your own. There's also an archive of past games, some of which are definitely amusing.
