Play Draw & Guess online with friends
Draw & Guess is a drawing-and-guessing game where a picture has to carry the clue. One person draws a secret word and everyone else tries to recognise it before the timer runs out. I included a solo sketchpad as well, for times when you want a drawing prompt rather than a timed round with someone else.

How to play Draw & Guess
Goal: Draw the secret word so others can guess it, and guess their drawings fast.
- The drawer picks one of three words and has 60 seconds to draw it.
- Everyone else types guesses. A near miss gets a “so close!”.
- Hint letters appear when 30 and 15 seconds are left.
- Players take turns drawing until every round is played.
Scoring and winning
- A correct guess scores 50 to 150 points: the faster, the more. The drawer gets half of what each guesser earns.
- In online rooms the first three correct guessers also get +30, +20 and +10. Highest score at the end wins.

Tips
- Begin with the largest recognisable shape, then add the one detail that sets the word apart.
- A simple outline your friends understand beats a careful drawing that runs out of time.
- Guess often. A near miss gets a “so close!”, which tells you that you are on the right track.
