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.)

I remember the day in the 80s when Pictionary was brought to the house. Every game night for the next six months we played only Pictionary. Along comes SketchParty. There goes new games for a while!Hopefully for Magnate they take the initiative and make an interface that allows players to submit "clues" for game play. This should allow each player to submit their suggestions to a common bucket, maybe a "one-off" email address, and this is compiled into everyone's suggestions and can be incorporated into a single game. Without something along this line, it's only a matter of time before we play through all the clues and this app becomes obsolete while someone else moves to this next plane.But, again, Love what you've done so far!
Close! But not 5 star yet.

Only three stars! Great idea, poor execution.LOVED the free version, bought the paid app, then severely disappointed at what we got for our money (not much in our opinion).Subtract one star for not letting me be able to edit all the word lists. I have a 12 year old who doesn’t know how to draw several words. It would be nice to toggle words and edit EVERY list.The emoji list is plain stupid (12 people agreed with me!)The pop culture list might be more stupid (7 people agreed with me). Seriously, we haven’t found one person who could figure out how to draw “Internet celebrity” or “Vin Diesel.”The winter list might as well be called the “We want to call this the Christmas list, but we don’t want to offend anyone so we’ll call it winter, but we’ll throw a lot of Christmas stuff in there just to cover our butts."Second missing star is because you have to scroll to get through all the colors. You should not have to scroll to select colors, its very frustrating and time consuming (12 people agreed with me!)The “Pass" and "Got It" buttons should be more in the corners of the screen. We found ourselves limiting our writing area because of the poor placement of the buttons in the middle of the screen.
So happy I rediscovered this

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!
Developer Response
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!
Needs some work

At first I was ok with paying the $4.99 for the app because it looked like fun. However, after purchasing it and downloading it on all of my families devices, I found out that we cannot each use our own device. It is a pass and play game so we have to use just one device. It would be so much easier if we could all use our own phones instead of having to pass them around the room the whole time. Also, there are some other bugs that need worked out. The color chooser won't slide over right, and there is too much in the middle of the screen that blocks the view of what is being drawn. Fix these, and I'd be willing to give it a higher rating.
- Updated to work on the latest OS
- Fixes an issue with initial AirPlay connection showing a blank screen
- Disables Dark Mode while design is being reworked
- Other bug fixes and performance improvements
