Skissan

Play drawing games with your friends!

Information

How to play

Skissan offers two games. The first game is called Draw & guess which is based on the classic pictionary game. One player draws a word while the others try to guess the drawing. The first player to guess the word will get the most points. The winner will be announced after 10 rounds.

The second game is called Draw & guess from answers. Everyone starts by drawing a sentence and then the game will go through every drawing and everyone has to guess what it is. After everyone has made a guess, then they must choose one answer from all the guesses. Only one guess is the correct sentence, but if you click on a guess made by someone else, then that user gets the points! So you can either try to guess what the sentence is, or make a fake answer that people are more likely to choose.

You can create a custom room if you want to play in private with your friends. After you create a custom room, you can copy-paste the URL to your friends.

Score system

Draw & guess

The drawer will get 10 points when the first user guesses the word. If the drawer gave a hint before the first user guessed the word, then the drawer will get 10 points minus the number of hints given times two. So if the drawer gave two hints, then the drawer will get 6 points when the first user guesses the word. The drawer will then get additional 1 point after each correct guess.

The first user to guess the word will get 10 points, the next user who guesses the word will get 9 points, then 8, 7, 6 and then 5 points for the rest that successfully guess the word.

Draw & guess from answers

If you guess the correct sentence then you will get 10 points and the drawer will also get 10 points minus how many have guessed it.

If someone clicks on your answer, then you will get 10 points but the user who clicked on your answer will get none.

News

8th of January 2022

Skissan is no longer only a draw and guess game, because we now support two game modes, classic draw & guess and a brand new game mode called Draw & guess from answers.

This new game mode is really fun. Everyone starts by drawing a sentence and then the game will go through every drawing and everyone has to guess what it is. After everyone has made a guess, then they must choose one guess from all the answers. Only one answer is the correct sentence, but if you click on an answer made by someone else, then he gets points! So you can either try to guess what the sentence really is, or make a fake answer that people are more likely to choose.
