How to play

Click on one of the rooms to join a game.
As a guesser you have to type your guesses into the chat box to score points. The first three players to guess correctly receive extra points.
When it is your turn to draw you will have to pick a word from a list of options and illustrate that word without using any letters within the given time limit. The more people guess your word correctly, the more points will be awarded to you.

Scoring

As an artist:
You receive 5 points for the first correct guess and 1 additional point for any further correct guesses.
Every hint that you give detracts 1 point from the points gained in that round.

As a guesser:
If you guess the word correctly you receive 5 points. The first three players to find the word receive additional points.

Chat

Tips

You can press tab key(⭾) while typing to autocomplete names of players in the same room.
Use the up and down arrows on your keyboard to go through the last messages you have sent.
Click on a player's name in the chat box to start a private conversation with them.
Just start typing and the chat input should automatically gain focus.
Put # in front of a room's name to turn it into a link (if the room's name contains spaces you need to surround the name with parentheses), e.g.
Let's play in #English or Let's play in #(Double Trouble)
