How to play Doodle Drift
Start with prompts, pass chains between players, alternate drawing and guessing, then reveal every private album together.
Round flow
- 1 Create a private room or join with a room code and display name.
- 2 Each player writes a safe prompt to start a chain.
- 3 Players alternate between drawing what they receive and guessing drawings from other players.
- 4 At the end, reveal every chain as a private room album.
Room rules
- No login is required; guest identity stays in localStorage.
- Rooms support 3 to 12 players.
- There is no open chat, public comments, or public gallery.
- Drawings are made in the in-app canvas and are not uploaded from outside files.
Mode notes
Classic Drift: the normal prompt, drawing, guess chain.
Chaos Drift: drawing rounds can include a small twist card.
Corporate Icebreaker: work-safe prompts for teams.
Kids Safe Mode: curated prompt packs, no public sharing, and no custom uploads.
Story Drift: players alternate captions and drawings to build private comic strips together.
Team Relay: planned team play focused on keeping the original prompt accurate.
Safety basics
Do not use real names, school names, phone numbers, addresses, birthdays, or precise locations in prompts or display names.
There is no open player chat, public comments, or public gallery at launch.
Use the report button after reveal if room content needs review.
Reveal and albums
After the final guessing round, the room reveals each chain from original prompt to final guess. Albums stay private and unlisted by default, and any replay link needs the room code plus an album token.
Prompt safety
Good prompts are visual, short, and safe for the group. Avoid personal information, sensitive topics, private workplace details, or anything that would make a private reveal uncomfortable.
Prompt tips
Use concrete prompts with one surprising detail.
Avoid private information, real names, school names, addresses, or phone numbers.
Draw the main shape first so the next player has something clear to guess.
In Chaos Drift, lean into the twist card instead of fighting it.
