How to play

Guess other players' drawings fast, and draw so they can guess yours. The most points after the last round wins.

How a game goes

  1. Take turns drawing

    Each turn, one player draws and everyone else guesses. Every player draws once per round.

  2. Pick a secret word

    The drawer picks one of 3 words within 15 seconds, or gets one at random. Only the drawer sees it.

  3. Draw it

    Sketch the word before time runs out, with no letters or numbers. Pick colors and brush sizes, or use the eraser, Undo, or Clear (tap it twice).

  4. Guess it

    Type guesses while the drawing appears. Longer words forgive a typo, and Close! means you're nearly there. Letters are revealed as time runs down.

  5. Score points

    Guessers earn 500 for an instant guess, down to 100 at the buzzer, plus 50 for guessing first. The drawer earns 60 per correct guesser, up to 400.

  6. Next drawer

    The turn ends when everyone has guessed or time runs out. The word shows for 6 seconds, then the next player picks.

Tips

  • Once you've guessed it, your messages only reach the drawer and others who got it, so you can't spoil it.
  • Draw the big shape first, then add details.
  • Each drawing has limited ink. If you run out, use Undo or Clear.
