Local Pictionary

Play Local Pictionary free online. A pass-and-play drawing party game: draw the secret word while friends shout guesses.

A drawing party game for 2–8 players on one device. Each turn, one player secretly sees a word and draws it against the clock while everyone else shouts guesses. When someone gets it, tap their name: the guesser scores a point and the artist scores one (two for a quick guess). Words range from easy objects to tricky ideas like “jet lag”. Nothing goes online — just pass the phone or tablet around.
