How to play Sneaky Doodle

Everyone draws on the same picture at the same time from their own phone, and each player sneaks in a secret only they know. Afterwards each player's lines light up one by one and the others guess what they hid.

How to play

  1. The host picks a difficulty (Easy is pick 1 of 4, Hard means typing the answer) and the drawing time, then creates a room. Everyone scans the QR code and enters a name.
  2. The host presses "Start game" and draws a theme everyone can see, like "The beach". Each phone also shows that player's secret, like "Giraffe" — you can swap it once you see it.
  3. The host presses "Start drawing" and everyone draws on the same picture at once; other people's lines appear live. Sneak your secret in so it blends in with the theme.
  4. When time's up, each player's lines light up one at a time and the others guess what they hid. A correct guess is +1, and the artist gets +1 for every person who got it.
  5. After everyone's been guessed, check the scores. Press "Draw another" to keep going, or hold "End the game" for the final ranking.

Hosting tips

Say thisLet's play Sneaky Doodle! We'll all draw one picture together on our phones, but each of us has a secret to sneak in. Afterwards everyone's lines light up one by one — guess right and you score, and the artist scores too when people get it, so draw it so others can tell!
  • Put the host's screen on a projector — the moment each person's lines light up is the funniest part.
  • Remind everyone to blend the secret in naturally: a giraffe at the beach could be the pattern on a swim ring.
  • For a first game, pick Easy and 45 seconds; switch to Hard once everyone gets it.
