Squiggle: how to play
🎨 Squiggle: 2 to 8 players.
How it works
Players take turns to draw. The drawer gets a secret word and sketches it on their phone with a finger, and the drawing appears live on the TV. Everyone else types guesses on their own phone. The sooner you guess, the more you score, and the drawer earns points for every player who gets it. A hint letter appears at half time. Spelling that is one letter out gets a “so close” nudge.
Tips for winning
- If you are drawing, start with the biggest shape of the object, not the details.
- If you are guessing, type several guesses quickly. Wrong ones cost nothing.
- Do not worry about being good at drawing. Terrible drawings are half the fun.
Who it suits
Good for groups of friends and parties. Needs at least two players.
