Turns and rounds
- In each round every player draws once, in the order they joined. Usually 3 rounds; 2 to 5 in a private room.
- 15 seconds to choose a word and 80 seconds to draw (60–120 in a private room).
- If everyone guesses, the turn ends early. It also ends if the drawer leaves or drops offline for 12 seconds.
- Someone who joins mid-game can guess straight away and draws if their turn comes up in the round.
Letter hints
Depending on word length, a letter is revealed at 40, 60 and 80 % of the drawing time: one for 3–4 letters, two for 5–7, three for 8 or more. The whole word is never revealed.
Scoring
| Who | How much |
|---|---|
| A correct guess | 50 to 300, in proportion to the time left (instantly ~300, at the last second 50) |
| The drawer | 60 + 140 × (share of players who guessed), scaled 60–100 % by speed; 0 if nobody guessed |
| Difficulty | medium word ×1.15, hard word ×1.3 (easy ×1) |
The bot never scores and never appears on the podium. Points are calculated on the server only.
What counts as correct
- Capitals, spaces and hyphens don’t matter: “ice-cream” = “ice cream”. Russian ё and е are the same.
- Uzbek o‘ and g‘ can be typed any way (o‘, o', oʻ, o`), even without the mark (“qol”), unless that clashes with another word.
- If you are one or two letters off, only you see “close”; nobody else does.
- Hiding the word in a sentence (“a big cat”) does not count and is not shown to others. Players who already guessed can only chat with each other and the drawer.
FAQ
What if the drawer writes letters?
That is against the rules. Drawings can’t be checked automatically, so report that player; with enough votes they are removed from the room.
How many people can play?
From 2 to 8. In a private room you can add the bot artist, which makes two-player games fun too.
Can I spam guesses?
After 4 quick guesses in a row you are limited to about one per second, and identical messages in a row are dropped.
