Drawful 2
Play Drawful 2 — the absurd drawing game where you sketch weird prompts on your phone and everyone tries to guess what it is. Hilarious results.
About This Game
Drawful 2 takes the drawing party game formula and cranks the absurdity up to eleven. Instead of common words like "cat" or "house," you are asked to draw things like "passive-aggressive birthday card" or "sexy Abraham Lincoln." The tiny phone-screen canvas and lack of an eraser mean that even skilled artists produce wonderfully terrible drawings, leveling the playing field.
The twist that separates Drawful from other drawing games is the guessing mechanic. Rather than simply guessing what the drawing is, players write fake titles for each drawing. These fakes are mixed with the real prompt, and everyone votes on what they think the actual title was. This creates a double layer of hilarity: the absurd drawings themselves and the creative fake titles players invent.
Drawful 2 was given away for free on multiple occasions, meaning many people already own it. It supports custom episodes where you can write your own prompts, and the game works perfectly over screen share for remote play. The combination of drawing, bluffing, and voting creates a game that consistently produces the funniest moments of any game night.

Tips & Strategy
- Focus on one key element of the prompt rather than trying to draw the entire concept.
- Creative fake titles that match the drawing style are more likely to fool players.
- Embrace the bad drawing — the two-color, no-eraser constraints are what make it funny.
- Custom prompts with inside jokes or group-specific references create the best sessions.
