Pictaphone: Draw, Guess, Party

Telephone, but with drawings

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Pictaphone is a hilarious drawing-telephone party game. One player writes a secret prompt, the next draws it, the next guesses what the drawing shows, the next draws that guess — and on it goes. At the end, you replay the whole chain together and watch a simple idea mutate into glorious nonsense. Grab some friends, share a four-letter room code, and play together on iPhone or the web. No account, no sign-up — just pick a name and go. FEATURES • Quick to start — create a room, share the code, and play in seconds • Cross-platform — iPhone and web players in the same game • A hilarious end-of-game replay of every drawing-and-guess chain • Simple, expressive drawing tools that anyone can pick up • Free to play, with no ads Best with four or more friends, but fun with any group. Perfect for parties, family game night, road trips, and group chats that need a laugh.
