How to run a drawing and guessing game night

Sketch & Guess turns a simple drawing into a group puzzle. In a room, each person joins on their own device. The host launches the game, chooses the word pack and number of turns, then starts the drawing game.

Play a turn

1. The current drawer chooses a word privately. Do not share that device's screen while its word is visible.
2. Draw with a finger, stylus or mouse. The room board offers colour, brush sizes, area fill, undo and clear. Lift the pointer to share a stroke.
3. Everyone else types guesses. The first correct guess ends the turn and awards a point to the guesser and drawer.
4. The host moves to the next turn or can reveal a word if the group is stuck.

Look after your players

The latest 30 guesses are visible to the room and are not automatically moderated. The host can clear guesses or remove a player; an adult should supervise children's games. Pick an appropriate pack and share invites only with people you trust.

To keep the board responsive, a turn allows up to 20 fills; undo or clear to make room for more. Everyone already connected should refresh if asked to use the current drawing tools.

Free rooms hold up to 8 people; paid rooms hold up to 100, including the host. The paid room is £4.99 per month and renews automatically until cancelled.
