One of you gets a secret word and a canvas. The other watches your strokes appear as you make them and types guesses. Ninety seconds a round, four rounds, taking turns.
The strokes travel over a realtime channel rather than through a database, so what they see is genuinely live — including the moment you realise your drawing has gone wrong and start again.

- 01
Draw the word
No letters, no numbers, no pointing at the screen. Five colours, three brush sizes, undo and clear.
- 02
Guess out loud and in the box
The guesser sees the word's shape and its category, but never the word. Guesses are matched loosely, so a typo won't cost you.
- 03
Swap each round
Four rounds, two drawings each, both of you scoring together rather than against each other.
Good for
- Anyone who can't draw
- Two people who want to laugh rather than think
Questions
Do I need to be good at drawing?
It is measurably funnier if you aren't.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes — the canvas takes touch input, so you can draw with a finger.
