What it feels like
One pen. One line. Put your finger down and don't lift it, because the moment you do, your drawing is finished. A cat, a crown, a spiral staircase... all in a single stroke. Then the room guesses what you drew.
How to play
- Each of you gets a secret thing to draw in one single line — lift your finger and it's done.
- Then the drawings come up one at a time and everyone shouts what they think it is.
- The artist reveals the real answer.
Scoring: 2 points for each drawing you guess. The artist scores 1 for everyone who gets theirs.
You'll get prompts like
- “A snail”
- “A cat”
What you need
3 to 10 people and one phone, tablet or laptop to pass around — or everyone on their own phone in a room. Nothing to download, no accounts. The best lines can be sealed into your group's Almanac and come back in later games.
