🤝 2. Host or Join (Online)

• Hosting: Click "Host Game" to generate a unique 5-character Room ID. Share this code with your friends and wait for them to join before clicking "Start Game".

🛋️ 3. Pass & Play (Local Mode)

Playing in the same room? You can use a single device!

• Add players to the list to track scores automatically, or jump straight in using "Quick Play".
• The device is handed to the drawer. Keep the screen hidden from everyone else!
• When someone shouts out the correct word, the drawer taps "Someone Guessed It! ✅" to award points and end the round.

📺 4. Host as Screen (Spectator)

Perfect for parties! Use a tablet or computer as a central display.

• Select Host as Screen on the main device. This device will manage the room but won't participate as a player.
• Everyone else selects Play Online → Join Game on their own phones using the room code shown on the central screen.
• The central screen will display the live drawing, floating guesses, and the final leaderboards for everyone to see!

🖌️ 5. Taking Turns

The game automatically rotates who gets to draw. If it's your turn:

• You'll be given a choice of three random words. Pick one!
• Choose your time limit (60s, 90s, or 180s) and hit "Start Drawing".
• Use the colour palette to draw the word. Need to erase? Choose the white colour.

If it's not your turn, use the text box at the bottom of the screen to type in your guesses. Keep guessing until you get it right.

⏰ 6. Sudden Death (Online Only)

If the timer runs out before anyone guesses correctly, Sudden Death begins!

• A multiple-choice grid of words will appear over the drawing.
• You only get one guess, so choose carefully.
• The first person to tap the correct word wins the round!

🖼️ 8. The Art Gallery

At the end of a round, or while picking a word, you can browse the Gallery to see the last 10 masterpieces drawn by you and your friends.
