About SketchLoop
What is SketchLoop?
A real-time multiplayer party game where players turn ideas into drawings and interpret each other's creations. The fun is watching how a single prompt drifts through drawings, guesses, and ratings — usually ending somewhere completely unexpected.
Inspired by Gartic Phone and Telephone Pictionary, built browser-only, no signup required.
How a round works
- Prompt phase — every player writes a one-line prompt for someone else to draw.
- Drawing phase — prompts are shuffled (no one draws their own), and everyone sketches their assigned prompt within the timer.
- Guessing phase — drawings are revealed one at a time. Everyone except the drawer writes a guess.
- Review phase — for each prompt YOU wrote, you see the drawing + the anonymous guesses, and rate each guess on a six-bucket scale.
- Scoreboard — points are awarded based on the buckets, the leaderboard updates, and the next round begins.
Scoring
Two-axis design: a clarity axis (spot-on → off) plus a humour side-track. Funny rewards the guesser for creativity without crediting the drawer for clarity.
| Bucket | Guesser | Drawer |
|---|---|---|
| Spot on | +50 | +30 |
| Very close | +35 | +20 |
| Close | +20 | +10 |
| Funny | +25 | +5 |
| Vague | +10 | +0 |
| Off | +0 | +0 |
Privacy
Drawings, prompts, and guesses are exchanged only between the players in your room. Nothing is uploaded anywhere else, and rooms are deleted automatically a few hours after the last activity.
