We play a great party game called 'Six Second Animals.' The caller names an animal and counts down from 6. Other players draw the animal. The caller picks a favorite and that drawer becomes caller.

Neat! check out Google's Quick Draw [1] where you need to draw a given object in 20 seconds and a neural network will recognize what you're drawing.

That's the sad and alone version of the game.
I mean it literally asks you to draw the thing to be recognized.

It would be more impressive if you were to draw freely and the neural network would recognize whatever you drew.

That game wouldn't generate labeled training data for their machine vision algorithms, which I'm sure is the whole point.
While I was really astonished that it recognized some things that I wouldn't even recognize myself, the neural network failed to recognize my computer, sad...
Simple and fun!
