What is this game?

Draw and Guess is a no-login multiplayer sketching game for small groups. A host creates a room, players join with display names, and each round rotates the drawer so everyone gets a turn at the canvas.

How to play

  1. 1 Create a private room and share the room code with friends.
  2. 2 Join with a guest display name; no account is needed.
  3. 3 When it is your turn, draw the secret prompt on the shared canvas.
  4. 4 When someone else draws, type guesses before the timer ends.

Rules

  • Rooms support 2 to 12 players.
  • The first joined player is the host.
  • Each connected player gets one drawing turn per match, up to 12 rounds.
  • The drawer cannot guess their own prompt.

Scoring

  • Correct guesses earn points.
  • Faster correct guesses earn more points.
  • The drawer earns bonus points when players guess correctly.
  • The highest score at the end of the match wins.

Tips and strategy

  • Start with the biggest shape before adding details.
  • Use simple labels only when the host group agrees they are allowed.
  • Guess broad ideas first, then narrow to the exact word.
  • Clear the canvas early if the first idea is not working.

FAQ

Is this the same as Pictionary or Skribbl?

It uses the familiar draw-and-guess mechanic, but it has its own PlayNib room flow, prompts, scoring, and interface.

Do I need an account?

No. Rooms use shareable codes, guest display names, and local guest IDs.

Can I play on mobile?

Yes. The canvas, brush controls, and guess input are designed for touch screens and desktop pointers.
