Gartic Phone: A user’s guide

 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

  1. Click on the link that your host should have sent you.
  2. Decide on your Profile name and Avatar - multiple people can have the same avatar at once (you change avatar by pressing the reload button).
  3. Join the game and wait for the ‘Host’ to pick a game mode and start the game.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Basic Gameplay - Host

  1. Search up ‘Gartic Phone’ and click on the first link that you see.
  2. You will obviously need to choose a nickname and an Avatar - multiple people can have the same (you change avatar by pressing the reload button).
  3. Send all your friends a playing link by clicking Invite to copy link and hold Invite to share with other options.
  4. Then, choose the game mode and start the game.
  5. You will need to do step 3, the same as a normal Player.
  6. Lastly, you will need to click ‘Start Album’ and then enjoy watching with your friends!!

It´s freeeeeeeezing in Spain.

By Tana Lage Otero  January 11th This winter has started with very low temperatures in Spain. Tons of snow are covering not only the mountains and the roads, but also the streets and the cities all around the country. In fact the heavy snowfalls and the low temperatures are breaking all the records.     The storm responsible for this situation is Filomena, a storm that has been visiting Spain for more than a week now. As a result you can see white landscapes that resemble Christmas cards and kids  are making snowmen and playing with the snow all around our country. The problem is that it is difficult and dangerous to walk or to drive because of the snow and the ice on the ground.     Luckily we live near the sea and it rarely snows in Redondela. Anyway, these days you will find  everything covered in white frost when you get up early in the morning as you can see in the photo of the field in our farm. According to the...

Among Us

  Among Us By Paloma Lage - Paily   Among Us was created by InnerSloth LLC on the 15th of June, 2018! It is (when normally played) a simple game where there are a few (1-3) impostors who can kill (with a cool down) and can vent around the maps - to get around faster. The goal for Crewmates is to figure out who the impostor(s) are before it’s too late - when there are 4 total people, two of which are impostors or 2 total people, 1 of which is an impostor. The impostor also has the ability to sabotage lights (crewmates can see VERY little), oxygen (crewmates have a certain amount of time before they same) same thing for  Among Us has evolved a lot by having fanart, animations, custom mods and much more! Some popular (crewmate) mods are - Sheriff, a crewmate who can try and ‘shoot’ impostors but if they guess wrong they die as well, Engineer - they can vent (like the impostor) and have a ‘auto-save’ for any emergencies.
