A game where you draw pictures for fun. Will everyone become a master painter?! A hilarious drawing game (11–20)
drawing battle
“Oekaki Battle” is an app where an AI scores your drawings on a 100-point scale.
With this app, you can think of all kinds of ways to play.
For example, everyone takes turns drawing, giving each other advice as you aim for a perfect 100, or you can run a contest where you compete on drawing skills by score—both sound fun.
As you keep drawing, you’ll likely start to grasp what the app looks for and pick up some tips and tricks.
Precisely because it’s a simple scoring tool, with a little creativity in how you play, it’s an app you could enjoy endlessly.
Drawing challenge with TikTok’s distorted mirror
One of yesterday’s TikToks was a game using a screen-distortion effect.
Looking through the warped screen makes it hard to do even something as simple as drawing a straight line.
We draw pictures while our vision is distorted and challenge others to guess the original theme from the drawings.
It might seem like you could rely on the feel of your hand and draw easily, but the fun part is how the drawing gradually falls apart as the distorted view throws you off.
Having people take their time and draw slowly is an important element—it helps break down the drawing and increases the game’s challenge.
Drawing song showdown
The quizmaster draws a picture and performs an original drawing song so that the other person can draw that picture.
It’s a game where you enjoy seeing how close the participant can get to the correct image using only that song.
It places a lot of burden on the quizmaster—how to compare each part of the drawing to something, how to describe it, and how to communicate the assembly process.
Even if the answer is incorrect, it can still spark conversation: you can review the original picture while checking what the drawing song was like and analyzing how the mistakes happened.
Quick, Draw!
“Quick, Draw!” is a game where an AI guesses what the player has drawn.
Each round has a 20-second time limit, which can feel short, but if you just keep sketching, the AI usually comes up with the right answer.
It’s said to recognize even very poor drawings, and it’s striking how it suddenly guesses correctly even when you’ve lost track of what you’re drawing yourself.
After all six prompts are finished, the screen switches to a summary where you can see what candidates the AI considered for your drawings and what kinds of drawings other people made for the same prompts—another fun aspect of the game.
Drawing from memory
It’s a game where you see how detailed a picture you can draw based on the memories you have.
A theme is given, and participants draw the theme from memory.
Once everyone finishes, the correct photo or illustration is revealed, and it’s judged who came closest to the real thing and who was the farthest off.
While basic drawing skill matters, the key points are fine-grained memory and how well you can express it in your drawing.
It also seems fun to see the differences in how people think—like which parts they focus on and remember.
Clumsy Paint
Ponkotsu Paint with Everyone is a game that tests your ability to convey a theme using very simple drawings.
Players are divided into one guesser and several drawers.
Using only circles and lines, each drawer illustrates the prompt, then shows their drawing to the guesser in order from the fewest strokes used to the most.
The drawer who gets the guesser to answer correctly with fewer strokes earns points, and the guesser also earns more points the fewer turns it takes to get the right answer.
The role of guesser then rotates, and everyone competes for the highest total score in the end.
Trust the guesser’s imagination—boldly reducing the number of strokes can make the game even more exciting.
The Fake Artist Goes to New York
This is a game where all participants work together to draw a single picture based on a prompt, and try to find the fake artist who doesn’t know the hidden prompt.
Players take turns adding one stroke to the drawing, and after each stroke, everyone tries to guess who the fake artist is.
The person designated as the fake artist must survive the rounds without being found out while trying to infer the original prompt.
If the fake artist is exposed, the artists win; if the fake artist figures out the prompt, the fake artist wins.
Since both sides have something they must keep hidden, the game is all about reading each other and bluffing.
Drawing song: challenge without looking at anything
Let’s try a drawing-song game you can enjoy while sitting indoors.
The person giving the challenge chooses a theme and plays a drawing song.
The person answering does not watch the video—only listens to the song—and draws the illustration.
When the song ends, try to guess what you’ve drawn.
To help everyone around enjoy it, prepare large sheets of paper and draw in a way that’s easy to see.
It’s important for both the viewers and the person drawing to keep that sense of excitement as you go.
Choosing easy-to-recognize subjects—like famous characters or seasonal fruits and flowers—will make the game more lively.
Drawing Personality Test
We’ll use drawings to conduct a psychological test that explores a person’s deeper nature.
Let’s research and prepare the prompts, present them to everyone, and delve into their innermost thoughts.
Drawing whatever comes to mind for each prompt, without overthinking, may be key to uncovering the subconscious.
It’s also interesting that what gets analyzed—such as the size or level of detail in the drawing—varies depending on the prompt.
Through this test, you might discover unexpected sides of your close friends.
Vague Memory Drawing Game
It’s a game where you recall the exact shape of the prompt you were shown and compete to see how high-quality an illustration you can draw.
It tests not only your drawing skills but also your memory—how precisely you remember the fine details of the prompt.
Let’s consider a variety of categories, such as things with tricky color placements like a panda, or logos you see around town.
Even if no one reproduces it perfectly, we recommend deciding the winner based on whose drawing is closest to the real thing.
