Draw it. Pass it. Guess it. Watch the chaos unfold. Draw & Guess is the telephone drawing game — you sketch a word, pass the device, and the next player guesses what it is. Their guess becomes the next word to draw. By the end of a round, "Cat" has turned into "Flying Lizard Wizard." The further it goes, the funnier it gets. No paper. No pencils. No ads. Just pure chaos. Whether you're at a party, on a road trip, or on the couch — pick a category and start sketching. Why You'll Love It: • The rare game that's actually fun for both kids and adults • Every round ends differently — no two games are alike • Perfect for parties, game nights, and family get-togethers • One game for the whole party — play with 2 to 25 people Features: • 4,000+ words and phrases across 30+ themed categories • Add your own custom words and phrases • Pass-and-play on one device or multi-device over WiFi/Bluetooth • Quick setup — no instructions needed • No ads, no interruptions Categories Include: Animals, Food, Hollywood, School, Technology, Travel, Space, Halloween, Christmas … and many more!

Pass The Plot is a local multiplayer party game where stories spiral gloriously out of control. Gather your friends, connect over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and take turns writing prompts and drawing them, passing the chain around until nobody remembers how it started. No accounts, no internet, no servers. Just your devices, your creativity, and the inevitable chaos of your friends' terrible drawings.
