Gartic Phone
A funny game of drawing, guessing and prompting!
By Paloma Lage - Paily
Gartic Phone was originally developed by Orizon Social Games and was then was first popularised by ‘Kameto’ on twitch.tv. An Android app version of the game was released in 2012 and then the browser version was released in 2013. You can play on your own (but it's boring) or you can play with up to 30 players!
In Gartic Phone there are a few different modes you can play: Normal - write and draw till the last round, No rush - unlimited time until everyone’s done, Secret - everything you draw and write disappears after a few seconds, Speedrun - the clock is faster whilst you draw and write, Knock-Off - Everyone draws and then, you rotate drawing, until everyone has had their turn, Sandwich - write and draw till the end, then describe the final drawings.
Basic Gameplay - Player
- Click on the link that your host should have sent you.
- Decide on your Profile name and Avatar - multiple people can have the same avatar at once (you change avatar by pressing the reload button).
- Join the game and wait for the ‘Host’ to pick a game mode and start the game.
- Depending on what game your host decided to play, you will start off writing or drawing, then if you started writing first you will alternate between drawing and writing.
- Finally after everyone is done, the Host will start playing the ‘Player Album’ and you can sit back, relax and laugh along with your friends.
