Orrery Hall

Night Sky Party drawing game

Gartic Phone

Telephone with pictures: write a line, draw someone else's, describe the next drawing, then watch it all fall apart.

Our own illustration, not a screenshot of the game.

One person creates a room and shares the link. Everyone writes a sentence, then draws the sentence they are handed, then describes the drawing they are handed, and so on. The reveal at the end is the whole joy.

It works best with people you know, on a call or in the same room. Rooms can be private, and there is nothing to buy to play.

Tips from the hall

  • Keep rooms private and share the link only with friends.
  • Short, silly prompts make the best chains.
  • Four to ten players is the sweet spot.

A good place to stop

After the reveal of one full round.
