How do I play Draw & Guess online with friends?

Click Create Room, select your preferred rounds and drawing timer, then copy the invitation link or the six character room code. Friends open the link on any device, type a nickname, and join without registration.

How does the scoring system work?

Guessing speed determines base points, scaled by the secret word difficulty multiplier (1.0x for Easy, 1.25x for Medium, 1.5x for Hard). The first player to guess receives an additional bonus, and the drawer earns points for every successful guesser.

Does drawing work smoothly on smartphones and tablets?

Yes. The canvas uses high-precision Pointer Events with touch-action isolation, preventing accidental scrolling and pinch zooming while drawing with your finger or stylus.
