History Trivia / Drawtectives

** The games that Julia showed off at the arcade in episode 5 of season 2 were ''supposed'' to be what the episode was based around, with all of them being fairly fleshed out recreations of classic carnival games. The players soon realised that [[ObviousBeta there was too much random chance to reliably earn the points they needed for the episodes clue]] so asked for a drawing challenge instead.

* ThrowItIn: Episode 5 of Season 2 was originally not meant to have a drawing challenge at all, but Julia Lepitit allowed the players to add one mid-episode because she liked their suggestion.

* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in that the mystery was mostly written in advance, but some aspects -- such as the newspaper clue -- were added later.

* [[WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants Drawing By The Seat Of Their Pants]]: Apart from the obvious gimmick of the show, since none of the cast members actually knew ''anything'' about the setting ''and'' because Julia didn't give them a reference chart this resulted in their characters proportions being wildly inconsistant not just with each other but with the rest of the show, possibly best exemplified when [[spoiler: Gyorik restrains Emery in the final episode where Gyorik's head is almost three times as big as Emery's despite theoretically only really being a bit larger than him.]]
