Rules of Conduct

  1. It's strictly forbidden to write any letter on the drawing board, even if it doesn't make up a full word. Onomatopoeia, synonyms, definitions, brand names, sigla, abbreviations, the word itself or parts of the word are also NOT allowed on the board. We keep an exception for writing one's own nickname on the drawing board as a "signature", provided that it doesn't reveal parts of the word. Tributes, declarations or writing a friend's nickname on the board is ONLY allowed after the player has already finished drawing the word that has been assigned to him/her, and on condition that the writing doesn't block the visualization of the drawing.
  2. Numbers will only be allowed on the drawing board if they don't show any direct relation to the word. For instance, if the word is "teach", it will be ok to draw a chalkboard and write 1 + 1 = 2 on it.
  3. It's forbidden to indicate on the board the number of letters of a word. If the drawer wishes for some of the letters of the word to be revealed in order to help other players to guess it, he/she's supposed to click on the button "hint", which will give away some letters (keep in mind that this function will only work while no one has guessed the word). The pictures below are examples of drawings that are NOT permitted:

    The pictures below are examples of signatures and formulas, situations that are permitted:

  4. All players must illustrate the word that has been assigned to them upon their time to draw. If the player considers the word to be too difficult to portray, he/she could give a "hint" by clicking the "hint" button or "skip" their turn by clicking the skip button. It's strictly forbidden to draw something totally unrelated to the word assigned.
  5. Whenever there's any kind of transgression in the drawing, players must report it by clicking on the icon: . This icon can be found to the right of the answering box.
  6. Players are not supposed to report a drawing that complies with all rules. Such behavior might end up in punishment to the reporter.
  7. Players are not allowed to type in the answer or even parts of it in the chat box. Any other kind of clues or synonyms that might help users guess the word are also forbidden. If a player types in the answer box in a way that looks as if he's giving clues, instead of scoring he is going to be treated as a transgressor.
  8. Offensive, abusive and inappropriate nicknames will be permanently banned from the site. There will also be no tolerance whatsoever regarding nicknames that offend moral or legal principles (i.e. crime apology, nazism, terrorism, racism, etc); these will also result on a permanent ban.

Game Rules

  1. If a player commits any kind of transgression, the other users will be able to report them by clicking on: .
    The round will be cancelled whenever half the players in a room report a drawing. This also means the current drawer will miss his/her turn and all the players that have scored during this round will lose the points acquired during the time of this drawing.
  2. There's a time limit for a player to start drawing. If a player takes too long to start the drawing, he/she might be subject to miss their turn.
  3. At the start, the round is worth 10 points. The first player to guess the word scores 10 points, the second, 9, and so on up to the point in which each player will score 1 point. The drawer gets 11 points when a first player guesses the word, and an extra 2 points for each of the other players who also guess it.
  4. The number of points given each round decreases as hints are given. Therefore, if they give out two hints, the first guesser will gain only 8 (instead of 10) points. The same works for the drawer.
  5. The number of hints a drawer can give depends on how big the word is. The bigger the word the more hints he/she can give.
  6. The first hint will always reveal the number of letters in a word. The second hint gives away the first letter of the word and the others will just show another letter randomly.
  7. The "Hints" and "Skip" functions are disabled after the first correct guess.
