Developed by Acureus · Published by Acureus
Draw & Guess is an online drawing-and-guessing party game. Players take turns illustrating prompts and interpreting other players’ sketches, either with friends or in larger rooms.
In Whisper, players alternate between drawing and guessing, then watch the chain replay to see how far it strayed from the original prompt. Stage has one player draw while others race to guess; Robot asks players to draw for the AI GU-355 to identify. Lounge is for casual drawing, while Battle Royale adds elimination rounds for up to 63 players.
Players can adjust timers and drawing rules, including Pixel Art, Invisible Lines, and Gravity, and create or share custom wordlists. Playing and completing achievements earns XP and can unlock characters; players can also collect drawings into shareable Artbooks and publish them in a gallery.
Among the supplied reviews, players who enjoy the game often praise playing with friends and the unpredictable humor of its drawing-and-guessing chains. They also value the freedom to draw in their own style and the variety of modes. Some note that public-room experiences can be less enjoyable, while complaints frequently cite connection problems, disruptive room behavior, and awkward drawing controls.
Draw & Guess is an online party game where you can draw (...and guess) across various game modes with up to 16 players.
Show off your art skills (for better or worse), test your analytical mind, and create some memorably fun moments!
Whisper (4-16 players)
Players either select a prompt to draw, or type one themselves to give to another player. Another player then tries to guess the prompt based on the picture, the next player then draws that guess, repeating until the chain is complete. At the end of the chain, everyone will watch the replay unfold and vote to see whether you managed to keep the original prompt, or whether you turned "bunny" into "killer monster truck".
Stage (2-16 players)
The classic drawing and guessing game mode: One player draws while the others try to guess the correct word. The faster the word is guessed correctly, the more points you earn!
Robot (1-16 players)
In this drawing-only mode, our AI friend (don't worry, no generative AI) GU-355 will try to guess your word prompt. The better the match, the more points you get.
Battle Royale (10-63 players)
Play with up to 63 players in our battle royale version of Robot, but this time, with a giant virus-ridden robot that ejects players from spaceships who are trying to clear the virus. Make it to the end, and maybe you’ll unlock something extra epic.
Lounge (1-16 players)
Sometimes you just want to chill and draw with your friends; that’s what Lounge is for. Just hang out in the lobby and enjoy some casual drawing.
If simply drawing and guessing is too easy, scale up the challenge by adjusting the settings. Try Pixel Art, Invisible Lines, or Gravity! If that's not enough, adjust the timer for short-speed rounds or drawing marathons. You can also create and share your own wordlists with other players.
Character Unlocks & Progression
There are many characters across Draw & Guess, some more elusive than others. Complete in-game achievements to gain access to new characters and earn XP while you play for some exclusive unlocks.
