Wall of Chaos

Definitely not testimonials. Just things that keep happening.

MASTERPIECE

Started as 'dog on a surfboard.' Ended as 'melting ice cream demon.' Best round we've ever played.

Mara W.

Turn 7 Cartographer

RIP

I have never been so personally attacked by a stick figure in my life.

Theo K.

Amateur Penguin Biographer

My 8-year-old drew something so good that four adults guessed it wrong. She won Best Drawing.

Imani S.

Certified 'Is That A Dog?' Inspector

TURN 6

We played for 3 hours on a flight. No wifi needed. The people in row 14 were concerned.

Jamie R.

Altitude Doodler

The guesses are always funnier than the drawings. Someone wrote 'depressed avocado' and honestly? Fair.

Priya M.

Prompt Chaos Survivor

???

We added adult topics at the holiday party. Grandma won Funniest three rounds in a row. Legend.

Sam T.

Family Game Night Referee

I can't draw. Like, at all. That's what makes this game perfect.

Elena V.

Self-Proclaimed Worst Artist

AGAIN?!

Every single chain ends up becoming a penguin somehow. It's a universal constant.

Marcus D.

Penguin Pattern Researcher

Questions? Sure.

The important stuff, answered quickly.
