Building on the popularity of Draw Something, and its subsequent decline, Doodle or Die is a website that is also based around [drawings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-coloring-drawing-book-app). Except this time around, other people dictate what is to be drawn, not a computer-generated list. "It's like a [game of Telephone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wordle-remake). Except with doodles," as described on the Doodle or Die website.

Developed by Aaron Silverman, Dylan Greene, Garrett Miller and David “Wyn” Bennett, Doodle or Die allows a more immersive experience and endless play time, unlike [Draw Something](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draw-something). From an epic battle between a robot and a T-Rex to a a ghost stealing a bear's hat, anything is possible on this interactive website. It is also pretty impressive to see how professional some of the illustrations are.
