Remember the games you played on the back of a napkin? SCRIBBLD brings them back — hand-drawn, on paper, the way you actually played them. Six classics, all sketched in pencil on graph paper: TIC TAC TOE Three in a row. Play the AI on three difficulties, pass the phone back and forth, or challenge a friend anywhere in the world. DOTS AND BOXES Draw a line, close a box, claim it. Tap a line or draw it with your finger — whichever feels right. Every box you close earns another turn. HANGMAN Guess the word before the figure is finished. Hundreds of words across categories, in English and Spanish. STOP! (TUTTI FRUTTI) A letter drops. Fill every category before someone shouts STOP. Play up to five people at once in real time — the fastest, funniest game in the app. SAND SNAKE A snake burrows under the sand. You never see it — only the ridge it pushes up and the tremor settling behind it. Hunt grubs, grow longer, and don't cross your own trail. SKETCHING A free-draw canvas with six brushes and a full colour palette. No rules, no timer — just paper. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Challenge anyone with a link. They tap it, the game opens, and you're playing. No account needed to play solo or against the AI — sign in only when you want to play a friend. BILINGUAL Every game plays in English or Spanish. Switch any time with one tap. MADE TO LOOK HAND-DRAWN Every line, letter and mark is drawn by the app — wobbly pencil strokes, watercolour washes, real handwriting. Nothing here is a stock icon.
