ScribbleX is a social drawing game that lets you create crazy art together with your friends. How do you play? The game goes like this: Take a piece of paper and divide it into three parts. Now, Player 1 draws a face on the first part of the paper, folds it over and passes it to Player 2. Player 2 then draws the body, folds it again and passes it to Player 3. Player 3 draws the legs or feet on the third part of the paper. In the end, you unfold the paper and a funny creature reveals itself! Now imagine this, just on your smartphone – the possibilities are endless ;) Happy drawing!
