Drawing games for friends: play with 2 or 3 people
A shared drawing gives you something to make and laugh about together. In Monster Maker, two or three people build one creature without seeing the whole picture until it is finished. One device is enough when you are in the same room.
A drawing game for two players
Choose two players and enter your names. There are three drawing turns: head, body and legs. One of you draws twice, so a pair can finish a complete monster without recruiting anyone else.
For couples or two friends, try starting with a theme you both know, such as a creature that would live in your kitchen. Keep the details to yourself. On the next round, switch who starts so you each get a turn at imagining the head.
Three players, one part each
With three players, each person contributes one part. The first draws the head, the second the body, and the third the legs. Your part folds away when the turn is finished, ready for the next person.
An easy variation is to agree on a habitat rather than a specific animal. A forest creature could have leafy hair, a tree-trunk body or mushroom feet. Everyone interprets the same prompt in their own way.
A creative game for family time
When children and adults draw together, keep the prompt simple and let each person choose how much detail to add. Circles, zigzags and oversized eyes already make a character. Help with passing the device and taking turns if a player needs it.
You can turn the reveal into another little activity: give the creature a name, decide what it eats, or invent a place for it to live. These are ideas to try together, rather than extra game modes you need to unlock.
Choose where to play
At home or on a trip, pass one iPhone or iPad between you. Shared-device games work without internet once the app is installed. If your friends are elsewhere, invite them to an online game with a link or code and draw from your own devices.
Each monster takes two or three players. For a larger gathering, make small groups and show each other the completed creatures. This gives everyone a part to draw without changing the three-part rules.
Questions about the game
Does everyone need their own phone?
No. In the same room, share one iPhone or iPad. Online play is for people taking turns from their own devices.
Can four people play in one game?
Each game supports two or three players. For more people, split into smaller groups or rotate between completed monsters.
