How to Play Pictionary

Pictionary is a classic drawing and guessing game where one player draws a word while teammates try to guess what it is before time runs out. Here is how a typical round works:

  1. 1

    Add players

    Set up two or more players and choose a difficulty level.

  2. 2

    Set the timer

    Pick a time limit per turn (30 to 300 seconds).

  3. 3

    Reveal the word

    The drawer taps the flashcard to see the secret word. Only the drawer should look.

  4. 4

    Draw

    The drawer sketches clues on paper or uses the built-in Sketchpad while teammates guess.

  5. 5

    Score

    If someone guesses correctly, both the drawer and the guesser earn a point. If time runs out, no points are awarded.

  6. 6

    Next turn

    The next player becomes the drawer and a new word is drawn.

The player with the most points at the end wins. Our built-in game mode handles turn order, scoring, and word selection automatically so you can focus on having fun.
