We've long played a version of this in our family that a cousin nicknamed, "write-y, draw-y." Unlike the DIY version, this comes with cute dry erase flip boards, markers, clues, and other handy implements, making it easier and maybe a little more fun than scrounging up your own paper, pens, books to write on, etc. Our kiddos wanted to play five rounds in a row first time.

I got this game specifically as an icebreaker for a new work team meeting for the first time. It wound up working even better than I expected! I only intended it to be used for one 20-minute session but everyone had SO much fun with it, we did another session immediately and shorted up actual work time to accommodate it, lol. Then the team asked me to bring it along to our work dinner that night, so we played it yet one more time in the restaurant.

This game is a lot of fun, it's a great party game that helps people get acquainted or you can tease your long time friends with. It's fun for 2, maybe 3 rounds a night but realistically that's a decent amount of time if you're not comparing yourself to the serious board game people. I first played it a year and a half ago and someone had said that it's a "great game but you could easily make it yourself" I brushed this off because it's true of a lot of board games, where the maker of the game shoe horns in unnecessary items like a timer, board or buzzer to make it a more complete package (even though these things have no effect on the fun of the game or could easily be replaced with an app) Anyways I brushed this off, I didn't want to take the time to make my own white board rolladex and recreating the experience with spiral notebooks, pens and a word generating app would feel too cheap. My problem is that out of the box two markers didn't work, and sharing markers really slows down the game, I felt throwing in an extra couple markers to make up for drunken misplacing or them being DOA would have made up for the $30 price point. Again this game is fun, it's low stakes, quick game that's a great icebreaker. I highly recommend picking this up, just consider buying extra dry-erase markers (maybe with finer points)

This is one of the funniest games I have ever played... It is crazy how much things can get changed as you try to interpret someone's picture and change it completely... I highly recommend this game for a family night.

One of the best party games out there, especially if you have a "darker" or more adult mindset, though that's not at all necessary to find the laughs and fun in this game. The only complaint is that the markers wear out somewhat fast and are a bit too thick, creating sloppy artwork and making any sort of small detail-work overly difficult, which is unnecessary in a timed situation, which is how this game is played anyway. I keep having to buy dry erase markers from the 99Cents Store to replace the ones in this box.
