Telestrations

Request this game WHY RENT THIS ONE
Why it's worth a spot on your weekend
“Start with a word. End with absolute nonsense.”
This is what happens when Pictionary and the Telephone game decide to team up and cause problems.
Everyone starts with a word or phrase, draws it, passes it along, and then the next person guesses what they think the drawing represents. Then somebody draws that guess. Then somebody else guesses that drawing. By the end, your original idea may have traveled so far from reality that the final reveal becomes the highlight of the entire game.
Telestrations is one of our favorite types of rental for a big family weekend because nobody needs to be a "board gamer" to have fun with it. Kids, parents, grandparents, friends, and the person who insists they cannot draw can all play together. In fact, terrible drawings are often where the fun begins.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Renting, answered
Can I rent Telestrations near Plattekill?
Yes — Telestrations is part of the Deep Space Family Games game shelf, available to rent by the night around Plattekill and the wider Hudson Valley area. Roughly 30 minutes out from Plattekill in every direction — delivery and local pickup only. Nothing to walk into.
Is requesting Telestrations a real reservation?
No — every button on this page is a request, not a booking. Deep Space Family Games doesn't run live availability, so we confirm by hand once you tell us you want Telestrations and when.
What happens if a piece from Telestrations goes missing?
Telestrations, like every game on the shelf, is counted against a written list before it goes out and again when it comes back, so a missing piece is a conversation with a number behind it, not a guess.
