It's Sketchy

It's Sketchy is a drawing and bluffing game. Each player gets a secret prompt and draws it on their phone. Then the others write fake prompts for each drawing, and everyone votes for the one they think is real. You need at least two players; three or more is best.

Prompts and timing

Prompts can be the built-in silly ones, or your own list. Have the AI write a list from a theme, like an office party, then read them over and use them. Set how long players get to draw, to bluff, to vote and to see each result. A time of zero means you move on by hand. You also choose the points for picking the real prompt, and for every player your fake fools.

Your prompts, then the timing and points.

Draw, bluff, vote

Everyone draws their own secret prompt on their phone, with colours, brush sizes and undo. Then each drawing goes up on the TV, one at a time, and everyone except the artist writes a fake prompt to try to fool the others. All the fakes are shown with the real prompt, shuffled together, and everyone votes.

The result

The real prompt is revealed, with who voted for what, and who fooled whom. Picking the real prompt scores points, and so does every player your fake fools. After the last drawing, the final scores are shown and the points go to each player's total.

Your controls

On the Live tab you can move to the next phase at any time, skip a drawing, or play again with new prompts. The real prompt is shown to you, and only you.

Draw & Guess

Draw & Guess is the other drawing game. One player draws a secret word, and everyone else types guesses. In the Rundown, choose the words, how many players draw at once, and how long each round lasts.

Play Draw & Guess

When a round starts, the artist draws on their phone, and the drawing appears live on the TV. Everyone else watches the big screen and guesses on their phone. The faster the right guess, the more points, and the artist scores for every correct guess. Then start the next round.
