What is this?

Is the question that is uttered over and over. And many times answered incorrectly.  Pressure and confusion will do that.
If you have never played Telestrations.  You are missing out on some good laughs, puzzled looks and a lot of head scratching.

It's not just about skill in drawing, but also using your creativity to do the best with your abilities, and thinking quick and making up whatever BS comes to mind before the sand runs out.

There's a 1min time limit on all drawing and guessing.  No letters or numbers are allowed!  So you need to think FAST and don't bother erasing, just draw arrows and equal signs to the only thing you drew!

I'm wishing I took photos of some of the sketches.  Because they were awesomely done.  Not just because they were beautiful, but some were simple and creative.  And that's what it takes to play well.

In this game you draw and then you guess what it is.  Hoping that the word/phrase you started with is the same at the end of the round.  If you think guessing is easy, well not always, depending on who's beside you.

Guessing is an art.  Being able to see through the ink smudged crap the person beside you drew and coming up with something that may not be what it's supposed to represent.  Sometimes all the time in the world is not enough.

Sometimes you wonder what was going through their head? If anything?
