An online drawing game to play with friends

You can make a monster together without being in the same room. Monster Maker’s online play lets two or three people draw hidden parts on their own devices. Turns are asynchronous, so you do not have to be available at the same moment.

Invite friends to draw together

Use online play in the app and share the invitation link or game code with the people you want to play with. Everyone plays in the iPhone or iPad app; the website explains the game and handles invitation links.

Before starting, check your internet connection and that you are signed in to iCloud. Online play has purchase requirements; the app shows the current options and prices.

  1. Set up an online game for two or three people.
  2. Send your friends the game’s invitation link or code.
  3. Take turns drawing the head, body and legs from your own devices.
  4. See the complete monster after all three parts are finished.

Take your turn when you have time

Asynchronous play means your turns can happen at different times. A friend can draw their part later instead of having to join a live drawing session. That makes it possible to create something together across busy schedules or time zones.

The hidden parts still make the final creature a surprise. Focus on your section instead of trying to plan the whole monster together in a chat. Agree on a broad theme beforehand if you want a starting point.

If an invitation does not work

Check that the app is installed, that your device is connected to the internet, and that you are signed in to iCloud. Ask the host for a fresh invitation if the link or code no longer works.

If you still cannot join, use the support link below. Include the message shown in the app, your device model and the app version. Keep private invitation codes out of your support message.

Together in the same room? Share one device

You can also play by passing one iPhone or iPad around. That mode works offline and keeps the same head, body and legs sequence. Pick online play when you want to use separate devices from different places, or local play when you can hand over the screen.

Send a link or a game code, and everyone draws their part from wherever they are, whenever it suits them. Nobody has to be in the same room, or awake at the same hour.
