What Players Are Saying

Bad drawings. Questionable descriptions. Unforgettable game nights.

★★★★★
“We haven't laughed this hard at a game in forever.”

We brought this out during game night and it immediately became the highlight of the evening. Trying to describe the suspects without saying certain words had everyone struggling. The final drawings had us crying laughing.

Jessica M. Game Night Hit
★★★★★
“Being terrible at drawing somehow makes it better.”

None of us can draw and that's exactly why this is so funny. You think you've perfectly described someone and then see what your friend actually drew. The reveal is easily my favorite part.

Tyler R. Bad Drawings
★★★★★
“Super easy to learn and everyone got into it.”

I love games that don't take forever to explain before you can actually start playing. We picked this one up quickly and within the first round everyone was completely into it.

Amanda C. Easy To Play
★★★★★
“The forbidden words make it hilarious.”

Describing the suspect sounds easy until you realize you can't use the obvious words. Watching someone desperately try to explain what they're seeing is hilarious. It makes every round completely unpredictable.

Megan T. Hilarious Challenge
★★★★★
“Our new go-to when friends come over.”

We've played this with a few different groups now and it gets laughs every time. It's quick enough to bring out casually but entertaining enough that we always end up playing way more rounds than planned.

Brandon K. Party Favorite
★★★★★
“Every suspect turns into an inside joke.”

Some of the sketches looked absolutely nothing like the original suspect, which made them even funnier. We're still joking about a few of the drawings days later.

Rachel P. Nonstop Laughs
★★★★★
“Finally a game everyone wanted to keep playing.”

Usually someone gets bored when we bring out a party game, but this kept the whole group involved. The rounds move quickly and everyone wanted another turn as the sketch artist.

Nicole S. Crowd Pleaser
★★★★★
“Bought it as a gift and ended up wanting one myself.”

I originally bought this for a friend who loves party games. We played it that night and everyone had such a good time that I ended up ordering one for our own game shelf.
