Errors typically accumulate in the retellings, so the statement announced by the last player differs significantly, and often amusingly, from the one uttered by the first. Reasons for changes include anxiousness or impatience, erroneous corrections, and that some players may deliberately alter what is being said to guarantee a changed message by the end of the line. The game is often played by children as a party game or in the playground. The game is also known as broken telephone, operator, grapevine, whisper down the lane, gossip, secret message, the messenger game and pass the message.[2] Gameplay[edit] The game has no winner: the entertainment comes from comparing the original and final messages. Other versions: Rumors[edit]
