What it feels like
A ghost afraid of the dark. A vampire at the beach. Tonight's monsters are not quite what they're supposed to be. Here's how it works. The first person gets a secret phrase and draws it, with no words or letters. The next person sees only the drawing and writes what they think it is. The next draws that, the next describes the drawing, and so on round the room. At the end, the whole chain is revealed, and the room picks its favourite moment. Whoever made that drawing or guess scores two points.
