A Mole In Dirt
Our game is called Bureaucratic Drawing Party and rules are as follows:
3 players. One is the Visionary, one is the Viewer, and the last one is the Artist Assistant.
Visionary: The Visionary is given a drawing prompt, but cannot tell anyone what the prompt is. The Visionary can only give commands to the Artist Assistant. The Visionary cannot observe progress on the drawing. They must sit looking away from the drawing or be blindfolded.
Artist Assistant: The Artist Assistant is the tool of the Visionary to complete the task. They must follow orders from the Visionary, and cannot ask questions or give feedback of any form. They must execute the Visionary’s instructions without ever knowing what their actual task is.
Viewer: the Viewer acts as the eyes and ears of the Visionary. The Viewer cannot give orders nor follow orders. They can only give feedback and report progress of the drawing to the Visionary.
In order to complete their task, a team must work in a cycle, with the Visionary giving an instruction, the Artist Assistant attempting to execute that instruction, and the Viewer reporting the result to the Visionary. This continues until the Leader is convinced that the drawing has been completed (based off of information given to them by the Advisor). Once the drawing is done, the Viewer guesses what the prompt that the Visionary was given. If they guess correctly, everyone wins, if they guess incorrectly then everyone loses.
