How to play Drawing Game Word Generator

• Word generator: pick categories and a difficulty, then press New word. Tick Hide words until tapped so only the artist sees the word.
• The artist draws the word on paper or a whiteboard. No letters, numbers or talking allowed. Their team calls out guesses.
• Team game: choose 2 to 6 teams, a turn length and the number of rounds. On each turn, one artist draws as many words as possible before time is up. Tap Got it for a point or Skip for a new word.
• After each turn you see which words were guessed. When the last round ends, the team with the most points wins.
• Words never repeat until you have drawn every word in the selected categories and level.

Controls

• Space or →: new word / got it
• ←: previous word / skip
• S: skip during a team turn
• Swipe the card on a phone

Tips

• Draw the biggest shape first, then add the detail that makes it unique: a giraffe is a horse with a very long neck.
• For phrases, draw each word separately and use plus signs between them.
• The Tricky Ideas category is great for adults; Easy animals and food suit young kids.
• Use a 30-second timer for speed rounds where artists must sketch fast.
