One person gets a word nobody else can see and ninety seconds to draw it, and everybody else types what they think it is. 3 to 8 people, about 15 minutes.
Nobody has to be able to draw. Being bad at it is most of the entertainment, and a wobbly lighthouse gets guessed about as fast as a good one.
It is the quietest way to get a call talking. Nobody is put on the spot for an answer, nobody has to perform on camera, and the drawing does the work while five people shout at it.
Everybody draws exactly once, so it ends when the table has been round. Five people is about fifteen minutes and you know that before you start.
