Drawing games
Draw & Guess
Draw it live. Guess it fast. Everyone takes a turn.
One artist picks a secret word and draws it on their own screen. Everyone else watches the lines appear as they are drawn and races to type the answer. Faster guesses score more, and the artist scores every time someone gets it.
3–10 players · phones, tablets & computers · a free two-round game takes about 10–30 minutes
Rooms, phones and privacy
One screen each
Each player uses their own phone, tablet or computer. Playing apart? Use your usual video or voice call alongside the room. The room keeps the clock, checks guesses and keeps score.
RoomsRooms last two hours, and the host can add time in the final 30 minutes. Reopen your invitation to get your seat back after a disconnection. Drawings, guesses and names are deleted when the room closes or expires.
One artist.
Everyone guessing.
Draw it live
Every line appears on everyone’s screen as you draw it. Eight inks, four brush sizes, an eraser, undo and clear. No letters or numbers.
Guess fast
Type as many guesses as you like. Wrong ones appear in the feed; right ones stay secret, so everyone keeps going. Letter hints appear as the clock runs down.
How the points work.
- Guessers score 100–300 points: the sooner you get it, the more you score.
- The artist scores every time someone gets it, up to about 250 points a turn when everyone does.
- So close? A near miss shows a private “so close” to you alone, and never appears in the feed.
- A turn ends when everyone has guessed or the time runs out. The word is then revealed to all.
- Everyone draws once per round. The free game is two rounds, then a podium and a gallery of every drawing.
Hints arrive on the room’s schedule
oooBlanks and letter counts from the start, then a few letters. At least two always stay hidden.Free to play.

Drawing on a phone?
Hold it upright. The paper fills the screen width and the page stays put while your finger is on it. Use Fill for big shapes and Fine for details; Undo is one tap away. On a computer, keys 1–8 choose an ink, E is the eraser, [ and ] change the brush and Ctrl or ⌘ Z undoes.
Draw & Guess questions
How many people can play Draw & Guess?
Each private room holds 3–10 players, each on their own phone, tablet or computer. The host plays too. Everyone takes one turn as the artist in every round.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. The drawing paper fills the width of a portrait phone, every tool is a large tap target, and the page stays still while your finger is on the paper. It also works with a mouse, trackpad or stylus in any current browser. There is no app to install.
Is it free?
Yes. Every room includes a complete two-round game with 205 everyday words, live drawing, letter hints, scoring and a final podium. Guests never pay and do not need an account.
What does All Access add?
Halloween, Christmas and office word packs (60 words each), your own word list, 3 or 4 rounds, a turn length from 45 to 120 seconds and a private game-night series. All Access costs $4.99/month or $29/year (USD). Only the host needs it; guests always join free.
Can we use our own words?
With All Access, the host can type 6–150 words or short phrases in the lobby. Only the host sees the list. Each artist sees three of them on their turn, and the room checks every guess against the chosen word.
What happens if someone disconnects?
Reopen the invitation link on the same device to get your seat back; the drawing so far appears straight away. If the artist has left, their turn is skipped, and the host can skip a turn that is stuck.
Is it family-friendly?
The built-in words are everyday objects, animals and actions chosen for families, classrooms and offices, and the Halloween pack is spooky-cute rather than scary. Guesses are typed by your own group and only appear inside your private room.
How is this different from Pass the Sketch?
Pass the Sketch is drawing telephone: everyone draws and guesses at the same time, and the chains are revealed at the end. Draw & Guess is live: one person draws while everyone else races to guess the same word.
