What do we need to play?
One phone, tablet or computer to show the words and keep score, plus paper and a pen or a whiteboard for the artist.
Are the words family-friendly?
Yes. They are generic objects and scenes written to be easy to sketch and fine for kids and colleagues, with no characters from films or brands.
