How it works
- 1 Pick a set. Mix draws from all of them, and Your own words lets you paste a list.
- 2 The drawer taps New word and looks at it alone. Hide mode keeps the word covered until the drawer taps it.
- 3 Start the timer and draw on paper or a whiteboard. No letters, numbers or talking.
- 4 Tap Guessed or Not guessed to score the turn, then hand over to the other team.
How to play Pictionary-style
- → Two teams take turns. One drawer per turn, and the rest of the team guesses out loud.
- → No writing letters or numbers, no speaking, no gestures that act the word out.
- → Start on Easy to warm up, then move to Hard for abstract words that need creative drawing.
- → A timer of 60 seconds suits Easy and Medium. Hard words often need 90.
Prefer acting to drawing?
The same idea works without a pen: act the word out instead.

Is this the official Pictionary game? +
No. It is an independent, free word generator for any Pictionary-style drawing game. You bring the paper or whiteboard.
What are good Pictionary words? +
Concrete nouns like “lighthouse” or “skateboard” are easy to draw. Verbs and ideas like “jet lag” or “plot twist” make the game harder and funnier.
Can I add my own words? +
Yes. Choose Your own words and enter one word or phrase per line.
Does it work on a phone? +
Yes. Turn on hide mode so the word stays covered until the drawer taps it, then pass the phone back.
