Draw Something

 

There's a new app that is invading people's mobile devices and tablets all around the world and it's called, Draw Something.  If you enjoy playing the game Pictionary, you'll probably enjoy playing Draw Something (by OMGPOP)!

You can find Draw Something for free on the App Store or iTunes store.  It only cost 99 cents to upgrade to get rid of those pesky advertisements.  The game links friends and strangers together as they draw pictures for one another and guess the right word from the picture drawn.

Each turn you can gain up to three coins.  At the beginning of your turn you are given the choice of three different words.  The first word is worth one coin if guessed correctly, and it is obviously the easiest.  The second word is worth two coins at a medium level, and the third word is the hardest and worth three coins.

You may be thinking - oh, I can't draw, that game wouldn't be fun!  That is crazy-talk, this game is a lot of fun whether you can draw or not, my friends and I generally use stick figures to get our words guessed.  The more you play the game, the more coins you'll collect so that you can purchase more colors (the better you'll get too).  These colors come at no additional cost, to get them you use the coins you built up with your own hard work!

Above is a picture that I drew for a friend in a game.

Each game goes in streaks.  The fun part is seeing how long you can make the streak last.  The longest streak I have at the moment is 68.  If one of the players can't guess the drawing they have to choose "pass" and the streak is ended and a new game can be started.

Overall this game is a lot of fun to play with friends and pretty easy at that.  The small screens on cell phones limit the ability to add detail and smoothness to the drawing, but the game is perfect on the iPad!  This game is perfect for a good laugh with your friends or a stranger in Hawaii!
