How-to, tips & answers

One person draws a secret word, then the others try to guess it. Everyone takes a turn at drawing.

How to play

  1. Enter 2 to 12 names, set the rounds and choose a drawing time.
  2. View the word privately, then draw it.
  3. Enter guesses, reveal the answer and switch roles.

Draw first, then pass it on

On one shared device, only the person drawing sees the word. They can choose colours and pen widths. Once time runs out or they select “Pass it on for guessing”, the others choose their name and type a guess.

Both sides earn points

A correct answer gives the guesser 10 points and the person drawing 5. Letter case does not matter, but a different word will not count. If everyone gets stuck, reveal the word and move to the next drawing.

Good to know

Do I need to be good at drawing?

No. Simple shapes often do the job. Agree beforehand whether letters and numbers are allowed.

Can we use separate devices?

Yes, through an online lobby with an internet connection. The drawing and guesses are shared between devices.
