Gartic Phone
About Gartic Phone
Gartic Phone is a multiplayer drawing party game that transforms simple ideas into complete chaos. Inspired by the classic Telephone game, players take turns writing prompts, sketching what they see, and guessing what previous players drew. By the end of a round, the original idea is usually unrecognizable and that's exactly what makes the game so funny.
Why Gartic Phone Is So Popular
Unlike competitive games that focus on winning, Gartic Phone is all about creativity and entertainment.
Key Highlights
- Multiplayer drawing and guessing gameplay
- Inspired by the classic Telephone game
- Multiple game modes for different playstyles
- No artistic skill required
- Browser-based and easy to join
- Endless replay value thanks to player-generated prompts
One reason players keep returning is that every match feels different. Even the same prompt can produce wildly different results depending on who is drawing.
How to Play Gartic Phone
The rules are simple, which makes it easy for anyone to jump in.
Start With a Prompt
Each player writes a sentence. It can be something funny, random, or completely ridiculous.
Turn Words Into Drawings
Another player receives the prompt and has to illustrate it before the timer expires.
Guess What You See
The next player only sees the drawing and must describe what they think it represents.
Watch the Chaos Unfold
Once every round is complete, the game reveals the full chain from the original sentence to the final guess. These reveals often become the funniest part of the entire session.
Popular Game Modes
- Normal: The classic write-draw-guess experience.
- Animation: Players collaborate to create short animated sequences frame by frame.
- Exquisite Corpse: Everyone contributes part of a drawing without seeing the full picture.
- Story: Build longer stories through a chain of drawings and descriptions.
- Icebreaker: A relaxed mode designed to encourage conversation and group interaction.
