## What is Telescribble?

Telescribble is the drawing game of telephone, made for families.

Someone draws a secret word. The next person guesses what it is. Then they draw what they guessed, and it goes around the circle. At the end, everyone sees how "cat" turned into "a very sad sofa." Nobody can draw well enough to lose, and everybody laughs.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY

Telephone Game
Pass one phone or iPad around the room. Pick a deck (Animals, Food, Around the House), or put your own words in the hat. Draw, guess, and watch the whole chain at the end.

Scribble Run
Race down the road in worlds like a meadow, a beach, a lake, candy land and outer space. Jump the rocks, dodge the hazards, and survive the weather. The trees, flowers and friends along the road can be YOUR drawings.

Draw your own world
Make a Custom World: pick the sky, draw the backdrop, the hazards and the scenery, and name it. Then race through what you made.

PLUS
- Showdown: everyone draws the same word, then votes. Crowns and a podium.
- Funny Book: keep your favourite drawings and chains in a book.
- Brushes, a paint bucket, and an eraser that kids can use without help.
- Non-readers are welcome: picture instructions and a "read it to me" voice.
- English and Spanish.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-29

Fall is here in Telescribble!

• Falling leaves. In November the menus fill with autumn leaves. Tilt your phone and the pile slides, flip it and the leaves tumble across the screen. A gentle breeze even blows a few around.
• A fall Scribble Run. The meadow turns golden, and turkeys dash across the road. Run into one and you'll stumble for a moment!
• New Thanksgiving word deck. 34 new words to draw in Telephone, like turkey, pumpkin pie, scarecrow and maple leaf, in English and Spanish, with voices.
• A cozy pencil. Our pencil friend is wearing a fall scarf.
• Smoother and sharper. Plus small fixes and polish throughout.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-28

What's new in 1.1
- Some small changes to the screens and menus.
- Pictures you draw for the sky (the sun, moon, stars and planets) now hang up in the sky instead of next to the road, and they sit a little lower so the hearts and buttons do not cover them.
- On windy days at the beach, drifts of sand pile up on the road. Running through one slows you down a lot, and you speed back up as soon as you are out of it.
- After you unlock all the games, you may be asked for a rating in the App Store.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-26

No release notes.
