Broken Meme: a meme twist on telephone pictionary
Every chain starts from a real meme card. It gets described, drawn, guessed and drawn again as it moves around the table, and nobody sees how badly it broke until the end.
In the game: Play with Friends → Create Room → Broken Meme.

Describe your meme
Each player gets a meme card and describes it in words. 45 seconds.
Draw what you read
Your text moves to the next player, who draws it. 75 seconds.
Guess the drawing
The next player writes what is happening in the drawing. Steps keep alternating draw and guess.
Reveal the chains
When every chain has one step per player, the chains are played back one by one, from the meme to the last guess.
Vote the funniest step
Everyone votes for the funniest step. Each vote is a point, and the most-voted step earns its author 5 bonus points.

Why it’s fun
Starting from a meme gives every chain a punchline before anyone has drawn a line. Watching a famous reaction turn into “a cow on fire at a barbecue” is the payoff.
You start your own chain and never see it again until the reveal, so the ending is a surprise for you too.
