SketchParty TV turns your TV into the ultimate party game! Pass-and-Play together on the big screen.
"If you like Pictionary but hate cleaning up all those scraps of paper, SketchParty TV is the game for you." - Macworld
SketchParty TV is the fun Pictionary-style drawing and guessing party game to play on your iPad and Apple TV! As seen in a WWDC keynote!
A MUST-HAVE PARTY GAME
You could buy an easel, a huge pad of paper, and some markers, then write down a really long list of words and make up some rules and try and keep track of points and get marker smudges all over your furniture. But who wants to do that?
OR!
You could play a fun drawing game using items you already have around the house, like your iPad, high-definition television, and Apple TV. Just enable AirPlay Mirroring, choose sides, and start a SketchParty. It's so simple!
A TRULY SOCIAL GAME
SketchParty TV is a team game like Pictionary or "Win, Lose or Draw", and up to 8 players per team can join in on the fun. That's a pretty big party! And it's fun for ages 8 and up.
Gather up your family, call your friends, and play SketchParty today!
GAMEPLAY REQUIREMENTS
Note: SketchParty TV requires an AirPlay Mirroring-capable device and either SketchParty TV running on the 4th generation Apple TV or an Apple TV 2 or later to play. SketchParty TV can also be played using Apple's AV adapter or a Mac/PC app like Reflector. (See http://SketchPartyTV.com for device compatibility.)

Used to play this a lot with friends back in the iPad 2/3 days. Eventually stopped using those iPads and forgot about it. I recently purchased a new iPad Pro 12.9” after years of not using an iPad. The other day, I decided to check out what I had on my iPad 3, and I found this game! Immediately went to download it on my new iPad. Looks like it works with Apple TV natively now (instead of AirPlay). It also works with Apple Pencil, which is a huge plus. Can’t wait to play this again and relive some memories! The only thing I’d suggest is to add more mature word lists. Other than that everything is great!

Thank you for playing in the early days and for giving SketchParty TV another try. An update was just released with some bug fixes and new word lists, so if you pick it up again, let me know what you think!
Very fun group game.

Tried this for the first time this week with the family… It was an absolute hoot to see our terrible drawings up on the TV and pass around the iPad trying to help our team guess what we are drawing. Was very interactive with the kids and really all ages. The connection between the iPad and the Apple TV app was seamless and solid, no issues. Highly recommend. We used an iPad with an Apple Pencil in our situation and it worked awesome.

Thank you for giving it a try! It's always appreciated, hearing that families have fun playing the game, without issues. And the "terrible" drawings are half the fun 😅 Thanks again for playing SketchParty TV ✏️ 🥳 📺
Poor Touch Accuracy

Update!! I heard from the developers and they worked on a fix! Since the last update early July 2018, this has been a blast to play on my SE and the whole family has loved it. Thanks!old version review-Since the touch on the screen does not correspond with the resulting line being drawn, it is beyond maddening. The most fun you’ll have is when you give up and just starting laughing at the app for failing so much.
Developer Response
Glad to hear this issue was resolved. Thank you for playing SketchParty TV!
The greatest digital Pictionary experience period!

So much fun to play in teams on the appletv. This game is so perfect I only wish that they would update it with new words. Please make a version that can be played online with a group. I would pay any amount to be able to do this with my family remotely.
Developer Response
Thank you for the kind words! There's an update out now with four new word lists.(And note taken about being able to play online with your family, this is something we've been thinking about doing for a long time as well…)
