Bad Drawings
A free Drawful-style game where everyone draws a secret prompt, writes fake titles for each picture, and votes for the real one. Phones join by room code.
About This Game
Bad Drawings is Table Party's free, unofficial Drawful-style drawing game. Everyone receives a private prompt and draws it on their phone. The game then presents each picture to the room while the other players invent believable fake titles.
The real prompt is mixed with the false titles, and everyone except the artist votes. Artists score when people identify the true prompt. Players who wrote fake titles score when those lies attract votes. The form rejects duplicate titles and attempts to submit the real prompt, which keeps the ballot clean.
All players draw at the same time, but the game reveals pictures one by one. A host can choose one, two, or three rounds, so larger groups should expect longer sessions. Bad Drawings works with three to eight players and runs entirely in the browser with room-code joining, no accounts, and no ads.
How to Play
Join the room
Open the shared Table Party room code on a phone or browser. No account is required.
Draw the secret prompt
Use the on-screen canvas to illustrate the private phrase assigned to you.
Write a fake title
When another drawing appears, submit a title that could plausibly be its real prompt.
Vote for the truth
Choose which title you think was original. Artists score for correct guesses, and liars score for fooled voters.
Tips & Strategy
- Make the main subject readable. Artists only score when people find the real prompt.
- Write fake titles that describe what is visible instead of chasing an unrelated joke.
- Avoid the most obvious fake title because another player may submit it first.
- Use a thicker brush for details that must survive on a smaller voting screen.
