Drawgame.io is a free multiplayer drawing and guessing game. One player draws a word, everyone else races to guess it. Here are the complete rules, scoring details, and tips so you can win more rounds.
Play now →Each round, one player is chosen as the drawer. They pick a word from three options and have 80 seconds to draw it. Everyone else races to guess in chat — faster guesses score more points. After the configured number of rounds (5, 10, 15, or 20 — host's choice), the highest score wins.
The drawer is shown three random words and has 15 seconds to choose one. If they don't pick in time, the first word is auto-selected.
The drawer uses the brush, fill bucket, or eraser. Guessers see only the word's letter pattern (like ___ ______) until someone solves it. Spelling out the word, drawing letters, or hinting in chat is against the rules.
Type your guess in chat. If you're right, your guess is hidden from other players so you don't spoil the answer. You can keep chatting after guessing.
When time runs out, or everyone has guessed, the round ends. Scores are shown for 5 seconds, then the next drawer is up.
After all rounds, the highest score wins. Game results are added to the daily, weekly, and all-time leaderboards.
As a guesser: points reward both speed and place. Guess fast, guess first — both matter. The earlier in the round you guess, the higher your base score; the earlier among your peers, the bigger your placement bonus.
As a drawer: you only score if at least one player guesses correctly. Your score scales with how many players got it and how fast on average. A clear, well-paced drawing pays much more than a confusing one nobody solves.
Drawing efficiently is rewarded. Solve a word in fewer strokes for a bigger multiplier:
| Strokes used | Score multiplier |
|---|---|
| 1 stroke | ×3.0 (huge bonus) |
| 2 strokes | ×2.0 |
| 3 strokes | ×1.83 |
| 4 strokes | ×1.67 |
| 5 strokes | ×1.5 |
| 6+ strokes | ×1.0 (no penalty) |
Use the bucket fill tool wisely — it counts as one stroke and can fill an entire region.
The first person in a room is the host. The host can configure the number of rounds (5–20), toggle whether the room is public (visible on the landing page), and start the game once at least 2 players have joined. If the host disconnects, hosting automatically passes to the next-oldest player in the room.
If a drawer is being inappropriate (writing the word, drawing offensive content, AFK), other players can report them via the flag button. Once enough players report — 2 in a 3-player room, 3 in 4+ player rooms — the drawer is kicked, the round ends with no points awarded, and the next round starts. With only two players in the room, reporting is disabled (no quorum).
