Get ready for an absolutely hilarious game of telephone mixed with doodling and total miscommunication! Scribblish, published by Cranium / Hasbro, is the ultimate laugh-out-loud party game where a simple drawing spirals into complete, chaotic confusion. Perfect for 4 to 6 players aged 8 to adult, it is a brilliant game for family gatherings where artistic skill doesn't matter at all—in fact, the worse the drawings, the funnier the game gets!

The gameplay is fast, simultaneous, and wonderfully frantic. Everyone starts with a secret, ridiculous caption (like "An alien eating a giant hot dog on a unicycle"). You have two minutes to draw it on your secret scroll, then you roll up the paper so only your drawing is visible and pass it to the next player. That player has to guess what on earth you drew and write a new caption. The scroll gets passed again, and the next person has to draw that new caption! By the time the scrolls are completely unrolled at the end, a simple phrase has morphed into something completely unrecognizable and hysterical. Players then vote on which original caption traveled the funniest path and guess which drawings belonged to whom.
