It is very simular - but we actually had never heard of or played Broken Picture when we created the game.

I wish we knew about it before launching because there have been many times when deciding how the game should work that it would have been much easier to know how Broken Picture did things, such as how long chains should be and how to handle jerky players.

Was excited to see this, as some friends and I independently invented this game on paper once.

DoodleOrDie is fun, but jerky/stupid players are really the biggest downfall for me. I don't want to write an elaborate, funny caption and then be asked to draw something for an obscene, misspelled, 3-word one.
