Sketch

Draw and guess words

3–10 players

Sketch is a real-time drawing and guessing game where players take turns being the artist. The drawer picks a secret word from a selection and has to illustrate it on a digital canvas while other players race to guess what it is in the chat. The first player to type the correct answer scores the most points, with decreasing rewards for subsequent correct guessers. The drawer also earns points based on how many players guess correctly. With a built-in hint system that gradually reveals the word's category, length, and letters, every round stays exciting even with tricky words. Sketch combines artistic creativity with fast-paced guessing for a hilarious multiplayer experience.

How to Play

1
Players take turns as the drawer. The drawer selects one word from three options, each from a different category.
2
The drawer has 60 to 120 seconds (depending on settings) to draw the word on the canvas using pen, eraser, fill, and line tools.
3
Other players watch the drawing appear in real-time and type their guesses in the chat.
4
The first player to guess correctly earns the most points. Second and third correct guessers earn fewer points.
5
If hints are enabled, the game progressively reveals the word's category, then its length, then random letters as time passes.
6
After each turn, scores are revealed. After all players have drawn in a round, the round ends and standings are shown.

Scoring System

Both guessers and drawers earn points. The first correct guesser earns 250 points plus a time bonus. The second guesser earns 150 points, and the third earns 50 points. The drawer earns points based on how many players guessed correctly — more correct guesses mean more points for the artist. This encourages the drawer to create clear, recognizable illustrations rather than abstract art.

Tips & Strategies

•
As the drawer, start with the big picture and add details. A recognizable outline is worth more than a detailed corner.
•
Use the fill tool for large areas of color — it saves time and makes your drawing clearer.
•
As a guesser, watch the drawing from the very first stroke. Early guesses score more points due to the time bonus.
•
Pay attention to the category hint when it appears — it narrows down the possibilities significantly.
•
Try different spellings if your guess seems right but is not accepted. The word might have a different form.

Customizable Settings

The host can set the drawing time to 60, 90, or 120 seconds per turn. Choose between 1, 2, or 3 full rounds. Select word categories from 9 options including Animals, Sports, Food and Drinks, Objects, Places, Actions, Professions, Movies and TV, and Vehicles. The word language can be set to Turkish or English, and the hint system can be toggled on or off.
