A drawing and guessing game you play with your phones
Doodler is a Pictionary-style game where your phone is the sketchpad. Your drawing appears on the TV stroke by stroke while everyone types guesses. It's free, and it works over a video call too.
How to play Doodler
Open Doodler on any TV or laptop with a web browser. Everyone joins at hangtime.games/play on their phone with the four-letter code. Then:
- On your turn, pick an easy, medium or hard word and draw it on your phone. No letters or numbers!
- Everyone else types guesses. The first correct guess ends the turn.
- Each turn starts worth 100. Hints reveal letters as the clock runs down, and each one shrinks the prize: 100, then 75, 50 and 25.
- The first correct guesser gets the prize, and so does the artist. Draw fast and clear!
- After each turn, everyone can tap ♥ to love the drawing for +10 to the artist, even if nobody guessed it.
Who it's for
Good for
Mixed-age groups, family nights and friends who swear they can't draw (that's the fun part). Kid mode swaps typing for big multiple-choice guesses, so younger players can join in.
Playing apart
Doodler has a remote mode: the whole game runs on everyone's phone, so it works as a drawing game for Zoom, FaceTime or any video call. No screen sharing needed.
Free for everyone, with no account. Players join at hangtime.games/play with the room code.
