how to play draw battle online
- split into a red team and a blue team. each round, one player on each team draws the same word.
- guess your own drawer's sketch before the other team does: first team to get it scores 200, the other team 100 if it gets there too.
- the winning drawer stays on. win twice in a row and the other team gets a head start. the losing team rotates and picks the next word.
- then the final drawdown: every word comes back. take turns drawing, +100 per word, and the first team through the list gets +100 and ends the game.
quick tip: Skip tiny artistic details — sketch unmistakable shapes immediately so your teammates lock in the first-solve bonus!
