Somewhat related: a friend and I built a game a lot like this as a Facebook app back in 2009 called Pictionnected. It had a few really passionate users. Didn't really iterate on it, got busy with work, and didn't maintain it when Facebook made some platform changes--eventually killing the app.

I deeply regret not sticking with it. I didn't know at the time just how unique it was to have that core set of extremely passionate users. The thing I've been realizing more and more these days is that persistence really is the name of the game.

In any case, it's great to see that the idea is still alive and kicking!

That is so cool, thanks for sharing the screenshot! I love seeing how different developers show the final chain.

There have been many times when I've wanted to give up on Doodle or Die. For example when somebody created a site called Screw Your Doodle to upload offensive images and users were asking for a reporting system that we didn't have yet and I had already been working every night on the site for much of the night...
