## Description

We start with a description, then let a chain of players take turns to draw and describe - but each player can only see the previous step in the game. It won't take long for the original message to get lost in translation and turn into something completely different (and hilarious!).

## History

Originally developed as a distraction from cancer treatment, Interference has become a hit social game on the web, Windows and Android.

## Features

- Take turns to draw and describe, and see how mixed up the message gets  
- Don't feel like drawing? Now you can choose to just describe, just draw, or a mixture!  
- View galleries of finished games and vote for your favourite drawings and descriptions  
- Watch replays of your favourite drawings to see how they were created  
- No need to be a great artist - join players of all ability levels

## Selected Articles

- "If you're the creative type, you'll love this game. You don't have to be a talented artist -- stick figures will often do the trick-- but it's great fun. Participate or just browse the most popular "games" created by the community. Often laugh-out-loud funny."

- "By far the most fun drawing game yet because the words do not feel recycled. It's all user-created content including the 'phrases' to be drawn. The best part is in seeing how the initial word changes through transmission like a game of telephone. Bravo! "

- "This game usually makes me bust out laughing. It's LMFAO, not just lolz. Get it! Get it now! "
