Sketchful.io

Someone has to draw, everyone else has to guess, and the person who cannot draw is usually the reason the round is funny. Sketchful.io is online Pictionary with a proper toolset and a chat box full of increasingly desperate guesses.

How to Play Sketchful.io?

Each round one player gets a word and has to draw it while everybody else types guesses into chat. Guess correctly and quickly and you score more, so speed matters as much as accuracy. When it is your turn to draw you must not write the word or spell it out on the canvas, which is the fastest way to spoil a round. You can jump into a public lobby, set up a custom game with your own settings, or use Free Draw to mess about on a blank canvas without a scoreboard.

What Are the Controls?

Draw with the mouse and pick colours from the palette. Press B for the brush and F to flood fill an area, E to erase, C to clear the canvas completely and Z to undo your last stroke. Scroll the mouse wheel to change brush size. Type in the chat box to guess, and click a player to see their stats or report them.

If you want more of the same, skribbl.io is the best known version of the format, and Gartic.io puts its own spin on drawing and guessing.
