I played the game in school, although I thought the reason that the message got completely scrambled was that people were whispering instead of speaking clearly, thus causing some words to be inaudible sometimes.

In one case, a girl whispered something to me and I couldn't hear clearly a word she said. Then I got accused by my classmates of deliberately changing the message.
