Telestrations Original 8-Player | Family Board Game | A Fun Family Game for Kids and Adults | Family Game Night Just Got Better | The Telephone Game Sketched Out | Ages 12+

If you've ever wished for a game where you can showcase your creativity without worrying about your less-than-masterful drawing skills, Telestrations Original 8-Player is here to make your dreams come true! This family board game is a whimsical whirlwind of laughter and imagination that promises endless fun for both kids and adults. Let’s dive into the magic of Telestrations. The game starts with a word or phrase that each player must draw, and then hilariously interpret based on the subsequent drawings. Sounds simple, right? But the real fun begins when your artistic “masterpieces” are passed around, leading to interpretations that are often delightfully off-the-wall. It’s a delightful spectacle of miscommunication and creativity that will have everyone in stitches! Now, if you’re like me and you’ve ever been labeled as “artistically challenged” (or if you simply want to avoid being compared to Picasso), this is the game for you. Forget about your fears of sketching skills—Telestrations embraces your quirky, imperfect drawings with open arms and turns them into comedic gold. It’s all about the joy of the journey and the hilarious results that come from it. The game is beautifully designed for up to 8 players, making it perfect for family gatherings, game nights with friends, or even a party where you’re looking to break the ice. The components are top-notch, with dry-erase boards and markers that make it easy to jump right into the fun. The only thing you need to bring is your sense of humor! In summary, Telestrations Original 8-Player is a whimsical, laughter-filled adventure where drawing skills take a backseat to creativity and fun. Whether you’re a budding artist or someone who thinks their doodles resemble stick figures, this game guarantees a fantastic time. So grab your markers, embrace your inner Picasso (or stick-figure artist), and get ready for a game night that will leave you and your friends laughing long after the final sketch is made!

Telestrations is a guaranteed good time! We haven't laughed that hard in forever!! It’s like a drawing version of Telephone, and the results are always hilarious — especially with bad artists (which makes it even better). Super easy to learn, great for families or parties, and perfect for all ages. Highly recommend for game night!

Love this game. I bought it after we had so much fun playing it at our friends. Nothing can go wrong or I would rather right with it. You want fun night, it’s a great place to start.

did this at a game night with adults and children, hilarious and fun so buying our own game

Okay, let me tell you, Telestrations is one of my favorite party games. We played it at our last friend's gathering, and I don't think I've laughed that hard in ages! It's basically the telephone game, but with drawings instead of whispers, and the results are absolutely hilarious. Like, seriously, tears-streaming-down-your-face funny. Even if you think you can't draw (and trust me, I'm no Picasso!), that's kind of the point! The worse the drawings, the funnier the misinterpretations. We had everything from a "birthday cake" that turned into a "fire hydrant" to a "squirrel" that somehow morphed into a "flying taco." It's just pure, unadulterated fun for everyone, no matter their age or artistic ability. The 8-player version is great, but honestly, if you usually have bigger groups, definitely go for the 12-player version. We had a few people sitting out and wishing they could join, and I can only imagine how much more chaotic and hilarious it would be with more players. It's perfect for game nights, parties, or just a fun get-together with friends. If you're looking for a game that will have everyone laughing until their sides hurt, Telestrations is a definite winner! Five stars, no question!

This will leave you in tears of laughter. It's the best game to come along in I don't know how long. Play is simple, and no matter how good or poor an artist players are, if they can scribble on paper, practically anyone in your group can get involved regardless of age. It is appropriate for all ages in that it is clean, but the very youngest children will probably not often understand the word or phrase they will have to draw if you're thinking of including them. I think children as young as 8 are able to play without it being too challenging; if they get a word they don't understand, tell them to choose one of the words the know. There are some issues with the low quality dry erase markers and the tiny microfiber cloths each person receives to wipe their book clean. If you leave the cap off too long, say during one complete round of play, the marker tip dries up a bit and won't draw. I made the mistake of putting the cap on and giving it a couple of shakes only to have virtually all the ink become deposited in the cap, making a terrible black, inky mess that resulted in throwing out the pen. You'd think they could include higher quality marking pens for what the game costs. Go ahead and purchase some decent quality dry erase markers to keep with your game and throw the original ones out. Don't bother using the tiny cleaning cloths. They will quickly become covered in dried marker residue and not be very effective. Have a box of plain tissue on hand instead. Make sure all the pages in each booklet are erased before putting the game away or the marks will be very difficult to remove and leave behind a faint stain. We only use the timer if there is anyone being a meticulous artist and repeatedly holding up game play. If all the contents of the box were better quality, I would have rated it better for value, but as it stands, the game only gets its material value from the cards and booklets. I still highly recommend this game, though, because it is hilariously fun to play!

Love it. Perfect for game night. Easy to clean in between/after games.

Es un juego genial, aunque viene en inglés no es ningún problema ya que las palabras son fáciles. La única pega es que compré el de 8 jugadores y me llegó el de 6.

Regularmente nos juntamos a jugar juegos de mesa mis amigos y yo y este juego nos encantó demasiado! Es muy bueno por que no todos son buenos para dibujar y las risas no faltan jaja

This game idea is interesting, just perfect for play during gathering. All our friends love it immediately

Fun game, but very pricey and some of the pens didn't work on arrival..
