Play Scribble Online

Play Scribble--a multiplayer draw-and-guess game--for free in your browser. No download, no sign-up. Create a room, invite friends, and take turns drawing while everyone else guesses the word. It is the classic party game experience brought online, and it works on any device.

How to Play

1. Create or join a room. Start a new game room and share the link or room code with friends. Players join through their browser.
2. Wait for players. The game works best with three or more players, though you can play with just two.
3. Take turns drawing. When it is your turn, you receive a word to draw. Use the drawing tools to sketch it on the canvas while other players watch in real time.
4. Guess the word. When someone else is drawing, type your guesses into the chat. Correct guesses earn points for both the guesser and the drawer.
5. Play through rounds. Each player gets a turn to draw. After all rounds are complete, the player with the most points wins.

Rules

• One player draws at a time; all other players guess.
• The drawer cannot type in the chat or use letters or numbers in their drawing.
• Players type guesses in the chat. Correct guesses are announced automatically.
• Faster correct guesses earn more points. The drawer also earns points when others guess correctly.
• Each turn has a time limit. If no one guesses before time runs out, no points are awarded.
• The game continues until all rounds are complete.

Tips and Strategy

• Start with the outline. When drawing, sketch the basic shape first so guessers can start thinking right away.
• Use size and position. Draw objects at a recognizable scale and in a clear context--a small house next to a big tree tells a story.
• Guess early and often. There is no penalty for wrong guesses, so type anything that comes to mind.
• Think of synonyms. If your first guess is close, try related words. The answer might be a variation of what you are thinking.
• Pay attention to the letter count. The word length is shown as blanks, which helps you narrow down possibilities.
