Disappearing Pen Games

Kevin and Jules of PLP TV Played 'Pass the Pen' for Their Viewers

PLP TV, a YouTube channel that focuses on challenges and product reviews, uploaded a video that shows Kevin and Jules playing a game called 'Pass the Pen.'

The two roll the dice and pick a card to see what kind of scenario or object that they need to convey on paper. On top of the pen that's included in the game, there's a timer that buzzes as they draw, and the ink retracts when their time is up -- adding more suspense to the whole experience and prompting them to get more creative with their drawings.

As Kevin and Jules show, trying to convey certain things in Pass the Pen can be very challenging, however these drawings just make the other player's guesses even funnier.
