Play Pictionary online

Pictionary is a drawing-and-guessing game where a picture has to carry the clue. One person draws a word and the other tries to recognise it. 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

  1. Open Pictionary and choose online co-op, same-phone play or the solo sketchpad.
  2. In a two-player round, the drawer chooses one of three offered words.
  3. Draw the clue within the sixty-second round while the other player watches.
  4. The guesser types answers. Hint letters appear as the timer runs down.
  5. Try to identify the word quickly: faster correct guesses give both players more points.

Modes and a useful starting point

Available modes: solo play, online with a friend, online co-op with a friend, same-phone play.

Same-phone play passes one device from drawing to guessing. Solo is free drawing with a random prompt and an option to save the sketch as a PNG. Begin with the largest recognisable shape, then add details that distinguish the word. A simple outline that your friend understands is more useful than a careful drawing that runs out of time.
