How to play Pictionary
- Split into teams (or play solo for points) and decide on the number of rounds.
- Generate a word above — only the drawer looks at it. No letters, numbers, or talking allowed!
- The drawer has a set amount of time to sketch the word while teammates guess out loud.
- A correct guess before time runs out scores points. Then pass to the next drawer.
- After all rounds, the highest score wins.
Want to play on one device? Try the offline pass-and-play mode in the tool above — it hides the word from everyone but the drawer, runs the timer, and tracks the score for you.
