About this game

Gartic Phone is the hilarious online telephone game with drawings!

Start with a sentence. The next player draws it. The player after that writes what they see. On it goes, sentence to drawing to sentence, until the original idea is gloriously, ridiculously lost. Then watch the whole chain play back and laugh together at how it all went wrong.

Free, easy to learn, and impossible to play with a straight face. Perfect for friends, family, classrooms, parties and online hangouts, and no drawing skills required. The worse the art, the better the game!

HOW TO PLAY
• Create a room and invite friends with a link or QR code, or jump into a quick game.
• Everyone writes a starting sentence.
• Pass it on: take turns drawing the sentence above you, then guessing the drawing below.
• When the round ends, flip through every album and relive the chaos.

LOADS OF GAME MODES
Keep every game fresh with a huge variety of modes, including:
• Normal: the classic write-and-draw telephone
• Knock-Off: everyone draws the same first sentence
• Animation: build frame-by-frame animated chains
• Background & Solo: draw over a shared scene or play on your own
• Secret, Masterpiece, Compliment Sandwich and many more

CREATIVE DRAWING TOOLS
• Pencil, eraser, shapes, fill bucket, eyedropper and notes
• Full color palette with adjustable thickness and opacity
• Pinch to zoom, pan, and a dedicated landscape drawing mode for extra room
• Undo, redo and an optional grid

SHARE THE LAUGHS

• Replay each drawing stroke by stroke

PLAY YOUR WAY

I really like the idea of the app and everything is done conveniently! But it would be cool if you could create a room in the app where you could go with a friend, and then join other people's open rooms together so you can play with random people. It's just that if you don't have many friends, you won't be able to play properly, and that's sad:( Just because of this, I give 4 stars.

Good all together, the same as the website. I do recommend adding online mode, because I don't have anyone to play with lol
