How to play

Everyone writes a sentence on the first page of their own book, like "a dog driving a bus".
Books pass along: the next player draws the sentence.
The next player sees only the drawing and describes it in words. The next draws that, and so on.
At the end, every book is revealed page by page. Tap 😂 on your favourite moments. Most laughs wins.

Ways to play

Online

Everyone works on a page at the same time on their own phone, so it's quick even with 8.

Pass and play

One device passed round the table, one page at a time.

Tips

Situations are funnier than objects: "a cat running for president" beats "a cat".
When you describe a drawing, say exactly what you see, even if it makes no sense.
Stuck for a first sentence? Tap Give me an idea.

Two can play, but it's best with 4 to 8.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free in your browser. No download or account needed.
