How to play Pictionary
- Players
- 2 teams, 4+ people
- Time
- 15–25 minutes
- Good for
- Living-room parties with a TV, team-building nights, kids’ birthdays.
- Name the teams and pick the categories.
- The drawer taps to peek at the word, then hides it and draws on the screen.
- No letters, no numbers, no talking. Their team shouts guesses.
- "Got it" scores and gives a new word; the timer ends the turn.
Sample words
- Spider-Man
- Jurassic Park
- Elephant
- Chicken
- Lechon
- Halo-halo
- Jeepney driver
- Chef
- Riding a jeepney
- Flying a kite
Questions
- Do I need paper?
- No. The drawing pad is on the phone, with colours, an eraser and undo. Cast the tab to a TV so everyone sees it.
- Can I see the word again mid-turn?
- Hold the "Hold to see word" chip at the top; it hides again when you let go.
