This is a great idea! Around 13 years ago I played this web-based game called Broken Picture Telephone (the site seems to be back, but it was shut down for a long time). It had a very similar concept to Telestrations. A user would start with a phrase or description, the next user would draw what was written, and the next would describe it. Repeat until n rounds are complete. At the end, everyone can see how the game evolved.

I ended up writing my own after it first shut down and even though the community was small, it was incredibly fun. Doing this with Dall-E 2 sounds like a fun project to bring back some nostalgia.

Sounds exactly like GarticPhone - great game: it's free and only requires a web browser. It's become the go-to for our remote company happy hours.

Several people have reported laughing so hard they were sore the next day.
