## What is Pictaphone?

Pictaphone is a hilarious drawing-telephone party game. One player writes a secret prompt, the next draws it, the next guesses what the drawing shows, the next draws that guess — and on it goes. At the end, you replay the whole chain together and watch a simple idea mutate into glorious nonsense.

Grab some friends, share a four-letter room code, and play together on iPhone or the web. No account, no sign-up — just pick a name and go.

• Cross-platform — iPhone and web players in the same game
• A hilarious end-of-game replay of every drawing-and-guess chain
• Simple, expressive drawing tools that anyone can pick up
