Rules + scorekeeping
01

Important

  1. Keep your private prompt hidden. Each turn is one continuous line. Do not write words, letters, numbers, or secret signals.
02

1. Reveal privately

  1. Every player opens their private card. Sketchers see the same subject. The Decoy sees only the category.
03

2. Draw one line

  1. Follow the app's turn order and add one continuous line to the shared canvas with a mouse, finger, or stylus. Lifting saves the line and passes automatically.
04

3. Draw again

  1. After everyone has drawn once, play a second round in the same order. Add information without making the answer too obvious.
05

4. Discuss and vote

  1. When drawing ends, briefly discuss the suspicious lines. Vote privately in the app. A tied first vote triggers one runoff.
06

5. Last chance

  1. If the Decoy is caught, they may still steal the win by naming the subject. Otherwise, the Sketchers win.
