A gameshow based around player communication.  Four players are placed in separate rooms unable to see each other.  Each player has access to building blocks and a platform on which to build.  Each platform has a different part of the build pre-completed.

The players must communicate with each other to complete the same build four times – one in each room.  However, there’s a twist: each player can only talk to one player, and be heard by a different player.  Therefore, messages have to be passed down the line like in a game of Telephone.

HISTORY

Broken Communication was the second gameshow ever released by WraithStation.

Broken Communication (2021)

Four players attempt to build the same colourful cube in this single-episode YouTube gameshow.

TRIVIA

• The cast were not informed what the task was until 5 minutes after the time limit began.  Before then, they only knew that it was a communication game similar to Telephone, and were left to try to work out what the challenge was by themselves.
• Originally, there were going to be two teams competing against each other to complete the challenge the fastest.  The second team’s footage didn’t make the final cut, so it became a co-op challenge show rather than a competitive racing show.
• The show was filmed after the Hide & Seek tournament, but was released first due to being a smaller project to edit.
