Ok, so this was actually supposed to be the first of my ‘fun things to do on the web’ features.
However, when I came to add it last week, Broken Picture Telephone was undergoing some maintanance and was down.
I’m now pleased to announce this fantastically fun site is now back up. The concept is very simple. One person writes a situation such as ‘man sitting on chair’. The next person then has to draw that situation. Then another person has to write what they think the previous picture means, WITHOUT seeing the original meaning.
As the game goes on, the situations get weirder and weirder until you finish with a completely different thing conveyed! It’s basically an online version of Chinese Whispers.
The site is good for a bit of timewasting and provides sometimes hillarious results. I certainly recommend it for a laugh if you have a spare moment. My only quarrel is the site can be slow loading, but it’s worth the wait!
