About the game

Telestrations: After Dark is an adult-themed version of the popular drawing-and-guessing party game Telestrations, using the same telephone-style gameplay but with raunchier, more mature prompts. Each player sketches a secret word, passes their sketchbook along, and the next player guesses what the drawing shows before passing it on again. By the end, hilariously mangled interpretations get revealed to the whole group. It's built for larger groups of adults looking for a rowdier version of the family favorite.

Hobbli's Notes

Telestrations is already one of the funniest party games around, and the After Dark edition leans hard into that with adult content that's a hit at parties among the right crowd. It plays fast, needs zero artistic skill, and reliably produces big laughs when the sketchbooks come back around. Just make sure your group is on board with mature humor before bringing it out. A great pick for a rowdier game night or party with friends.

What we like

  • Requires no artistic skill, so everyone can join in on the fun.
  • Reliably produces big laughs from the drawing-and-guessing chain.
  • Large player count support makes it great for parties.
  • Fast rounds keep energy high throughout the night.

Keep in mind

  • Mature content isn't suitable for all groups or ages.
  • Requires a decent-sized group to really shine.
  • Less replayable if the same crowd plays the same word set repeatedly.

Who it's for

Best for adult groups of 4-8 aged 17 and up who enjoy raunchy party humor.
