Create a public or private room
Public rooms can be found by strangers through Quick join. Private rooms are only for people with your link; the host picks 1–6 rounds, 2–5 word choices and can paste a custom word list before the room is created.
Draw it. Guess it. Laugh loud.
A free online draw-and-guess party game for 2–8 players, right in the browser. Creating a room usually takes less than a minute; each drawing turn lasts up to 80 seconds.

Smooth Real-Time Drawing
Six crayon colors, five brush sizes, an eraser, fill, undo and clear. Strokes appear on every player’s screen in real time, whether you draw with a mouse, a finger or a stylus.
Spoiler-Free Guessing
Type your guesses directly in chat. Correct answers score points instantly and are kept hidden from others so the guessing never stops!
Fully Automated Loops
Turn rotation, countdown timers, and final scoring are completely automated. No referee or scoreboard setup needed — just draw, guess, and laugh.
Custom Word Packs
Want to make it personal? Input your group's inside jokes, custom themes, or learning vocabulary to create a hilarious private game mode.
Doodle Gallery & Solo Play
Public-room drawings that someone guesses correctly go to the public Gallery, and you can delete yours. Practise alone in Solo Draw, or guess other players’ saved doodles.
Smart Hosting & AFK Kick
If the host leaves, the next player takes over. Players who drop out can reconnect before the turn ends, and in public rooms inactive players are removed after 3 idle turns.
How to play
A free multiplayer drawing game that runs in your browser
DoodleGuesser is made for small groups: a party over a video call, a classroom warm-up or a short team break. Everyone plays in a web browser on a computer, phone or tablet. There is nothing to install and no account to create — the only thing you type is a nickname. Rooms hold 2 to 8 players, and the game handles turn order, timers and scoring for you.

Share the link or the 6-character code
Copy the invite link inside the room and send it in any chat app, or read the room code out loud. Friends open it in a browser, type a nickname and join — no account, no app.

Draw, guess and score
Players take turns drawing. The drawer picks a word within 15 seconds and draws it for up to 80 seconds while everyone else types guesses. Faster correct guesses score more, and the highest total wins.
Classic Pictionary Gameplay & Rules Explained
Each turn one player is the drawer. They see 2 secret words (up to 5 in private rooms), have 15 seconds to pick one and then up to 80 seconds to draw it without letters or numbers. Everyone else types guesses. A correct guess earns 100 points plus a speed bonus of up to 100, and the drawer earns 40 points for every correct guesser. Correct answers are never shown in chat, so the others can keep guessing. The turn ends when time runs out or everyone has guessed.
FAQ
No. DoodleGuesser runs in a web browser. You only enter a nickname, which your browser remembers for next time.
Yes. You can create, join, draw and guess on a phone or tablet. Drawing with a finger works; a tablet, a stylus or a computer makes it easier.
2 to 8. A game needs at least 2 players, and new players can join a game that is already running until the room is full.
Public rooms can be found through Quick join, use the official word list and set the number of rounds by player count. Private rooms can only be entered with the link or room code; the host chooses the rounds and word choices and can add a custom word list.
With the official word list, the answer is accepted in any of the nine supported languages: English, Chinese, German, Dutch, French, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese and Korean. Capital letters and spaces are ignored. With a custom word list, only the word exactly as the host typed it counts.
Picking a word takes up to 15 seconds and drawing up to 80 seconds, so one turn is under two minutes including the results screen. In public rooms, 2–3 players play 3 rounds, 4–5 players play 2 and 6–8 players play 1; in each round everyone draws once. Private rooms play 1–6 rounds, as the host chooses.
Only from public rooms: if someone guesses your drawing correctly (official word list), it is shared to the public Gallery with your nickname. Drawings from private rooms or custom word lists are never shared. You can delete a shared drawing on the results screen, or later from the Gallery page in the same browser.
Every feature is free. Content pages such as the home page and guides may show Google ads. Ads are not loaded inside game rooms.
Chat messages and drawing strokes are relayed live and not saved. When a game finishes, nicknames and scores are saved for the leaderboard. A room is deleted 2 minutes after everyone has left. The Privacy Policy has the full list.
During a game, press Report on the current drawing. If at least half of the guessers (and at least 2) report it, the turn is cancelled and the drawer is removed. In the Gallery, press Report on a drawing. For anything else, email hello@doodleguesser.com.
