Telestrations 12 Player

If you're planning a get-together and want a game that's equal parts ridiculous and delightful, the Telestrations 12-Player Pack is a solid win. We’ve used it during holidays, random game nights, and even cabin trips—and it never fails to deliver a room full of laughter. ✅ No drawing skills required. Honestly, the worse the art, the better the comedy. Stick figures? Abstract blobs? All welcome. 🎲 Smooth gameplay. One die roll, one word card, one hilarious journey from drawing to misinterpretation. 🤣 Legendary outcomes. We've had "cheerleader" morph into "dancing carrots in a windstorm" and “snake parade” come out of nowhere. 🧽 Quick cleanup. Just swipe your sketches clean with the included cloths (though the markers might need replacing after a few rounds). 👪 Perfect for 4–12 players. Everyone gets a sketch book, and no one feels left out. Great for family, friends, and ice-breaking events. Whether you’re 12 or 77, it’s endlessly re-playable, and the shared belly laughs are what make the game unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone who wants their game night to turn into a comedy show. Just don’t expect accuracy—and that’s the point. 😄

So much fun that when we get in big groups to play, it can take such a long time to complete a round because the laughing takes forever to die down. Easy to learn, all ages can play (we have elementary aged to grandparents), material is good quality, we bought an extra game to keep at grandparents’ house and they love it so much they bought for others their age as gifts!

This game is so much fun! Prepare for belly-aching laughter for all ages. It’s super easy to set up, and because there’s no board, you don’t even need a table to play. The worse you are at drawing, the better the game is—so no pressure to be an artist. It’s definitely more fun with larger groups, but still works with a smaller number of players. Highly recommend for family or friend game nights!

I host game nights a lot, and this game is always a hit! As our game night group got bigger, I had to upgrade to this 12 player version, and having more people makes the game more fun! We don’t use the cards. For the secret word, we each write a wacky phrase— anything our hearts desire that we want people to draw: a giraffe on a skateboard, Santa Claus sunbathing, a clown escaping the circus. The drawings almost always never end up how they started, and there’s always lots of laughter all around and at least one horribly drawn master piece that everyone needs to snap a picture of before. Gets erased. So fun! Easy to play! Make sure your players wipe down the dry erase boards before you put them back in the box, or they are nearly impossible clean later even with dry erase spray.

We played Tellustrations for hours and laughed until we cried—literally! It's one of the most fun games we've ever played as a family. Everyone got into it, from the teens to the parents, and the misinterpretations just kept getting funnier. It’s the perfect mix of creativity and chaos. If you’re looking for something amazing to break the ice at a party or bring the whole family together, this is it. Instant classic! Easy to use and the variety of content is simply the best.

We played this at our son's house and had so much fun we bought our own. We even played this with our grandchildren who are younger than 12! Some of your enjoyment may depend on whether you just like to have fun and don't take it too seriously. Our 5 year old grandson played this with parental help and it was a riot. He drew the pictures after his father explained the word(s). It is fun to see how creative kids can be. As another reviewer said "Think Pictionary mixed with telephone." At first I only gave a few stars for educational value, but learning to be creative is certainly educational so even though it isn't a "learning toy" it does provide some educational value. Most recently we played it with just four adults, which I thought might not be as much fun, but I think we laughed until our sides hurt. We certainly had tears running down our cheeks. :D You don't have to be a skilled artist with this game, in fact, "unskilled" drawing can make it even more fun. You have an hour glass timer (less than a minute) going when you are drawing so even the highly skilled artist can be challenged, the best skill to have is knowing how to creatively put your idea across. The game is more about having fun and a sense of humor, than drawing skills or correctly interpreting someone's drawing. (It can be even more fun if you are bad a both and can laugh about it.) This game is easy to set up and start playing -- no huge learning curve. The rules are simple. This is not a win-lose game; it is a fun party game, even hysterical at times. Definitely family friendly. The quality is good. If you are playing with younger children the markers can get messed up, but I don't think it would be difficult to replace them, if needed. (That is the only reason I took off one star for durability.) Do erase the drawings and words after each use. If they sit for awhile they are more difficult to erase.

Llevo mucho tiempo buescando este juego ya que lo había jugado una vez y no pudimos parar de reir. En español lo edita Goliath pero está descatalogado desde hace varios años. Hablé con ellos y no hay intención de editarlo de nuevo así que me lancé a la compra de la versión de 12 jugadores (más risas todavía) en inglés. Lo único que influye el iduima (que no es poco) es para el tema de las tarjetas que aunque sepas inglés, muchas están orientadas a personajes y expresiones muy particulares de la cultura anglosajona. no obstante, fotocopiando las tarjetas del español o sacándolas de otros juegos como el Tabú, Time's Up! o el Party se puede jugar perfectamente. En mi grupo de juegos jugamos sin tarjetas, es decir, discurriendo cada uno la palabra o expresión que quiere dibujar en cada partida. Muy recomendable para grupos de 8-12 personas, a 6 funciona bien pero desciende el nievel de risas. A 8-10 jugadores creo que es su mejor número.

Llegó excelente y si nunca lo has jugado, es divertidísimo para todas las edades. También es un gran regalo para alguien que sea sociable.

Good quality and arrived on time

This is an awesome group game, perfect for work, family or friends. The more the merrier- not sure it would be as fun if you had fewer than 6 people. The few times we’ve played it so far everyone has ended up with sore sides from laughing so hard. We were looking for a change from Cards Against Humanity and this worked out really well. You can easily keep it clean or PG (which I believe is the intent of the game), but it can also degenerate quickly if that’s your bag. Haven’t tried it yet with kids but either with a little adult help (for reading and/or sketching), it could be a lot of fun. You can make it competitive with a winner based on the game guidelines, or you can take the approach that everyone is a winner because of how funny the game can be! There is a French version though the title is quite different than “Telestrations”.... Quecisse I think?

This is the funniest game I have ever played. It is even funnier if you have people playing that are not very good at drawing, as the delight comes from laughing at how badly astray the final word is from the original one. Basically you are given a word each to draw and after drawing it you pass the pad on to your neighbour (without letting anyone see it). You all do this with your pads at the same time. At this point you look back at the drawing you have been given and you have to write what you think it is. You then all pass your pads to the right again, where the player looks at what has been written and then draws it. The next person writes what it is, the next draws what they wrote etc etc, without looking back further than the previous page. Once your pad gets back to you you show everyone the progression from the first word written to the last word written, and all have a good laugh at where it goes horribly wrong. You can get a version for 8 players or this one for 12, but both can be played with less players (the more the better, though, really)
