It was also ported to [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]], UsefulNotes/PS4 and UsefulNotes/XboxOne later in 2016, and to UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch in 2018.

A Pictionary-like multiplayer game from Creator/JackboxGames for mobile devices, released as part of the first ''[[VideoGame/TheJackboxPartyPack Jackbox Party Pack]]'' in 2014. At the start of each game, players are given a ([[NonSequitur rarely straightforward]]) prompt to draw a picture for. After the drawing is done, players guess the prompt for each drawing; after all guesses have been submitted, all of them are then shown alongside the correct prompt. Guessing correctly earns both the guesser and the artist points, but choosing somebody else's guess scores ''them'' points instead. A sizable part of the fun comes from the limited color palettes and the lack of an erase function, making drawing pictures for certain prompts an exercise in hilarity.

* DeliberatelyMonochrome: You are allowed to draw with two colors (likely suffering from a limited palette as it's usually two complimentary colors), probably because a wide pallet to pick from is more time consuming as the game is timed. As in,"I can't decide whether to use fuschia or aqua marine".

!!Drawful
provides examples of the following:
* AnimateInanimateObject: Every player who is actively drawing something is represented by a pencil of the color randomly assigned to them at the start of the match. Said pencil has a tiny face on its eraserhead, and will twist like a worm up until the player is done drawing, at which point it'll snap in half and be replaced with their profile picture.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Portmantitle}}: The game's title is a combination of "draw" and "awful".
* StylisticSuck: Players may try their best, and sometimes achieve genuinely impressive drawings, but just as often, they'll intentionally go for the most hilariously bad drawing possible.
* TimedMission: You get a minute to write you guess as to what the picture being shown you actually represents. Rather than going for conventional clock-like timers, the game instead has seconds in the increments of five (20, 35, 45, etc.) on the bottom of the screen, and they'll be eventually covered by a cat's paw holding a quill that's constantly advancing from right to left.
* WordSaladHumor: The drawing prompts are frequently these; the announcer herself will name "iron lunch" or "steep Harvey's moustache" as examples right before you are all given something like this.
