Draw it badly

The rules

4 steps.

  1. The drawer picks one of three words. Nobody else sees any of them.
  2. They draw. No letters, no numbers, no pointing at things in the room.
  3. Everyone shouts guesses out loud, and blanks give up a letter as time runs down.
  4. The drawer taps everyone who got it. The quicker you were, the more it is worth.

The bit everyone gets wrong

Everybody who gets it scores, not just the first — so keep going after somebody beats you to it.

What the phone does

The phone deals the words, runs the clock, gives out the blanks and keeps score. It does not judge a shouted guess and it cannot see your drawing.

It is a dealer and a scorekeeper, never a judge. It cannot hear the room and it does not decide who was right.
