A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Point of the game is simple, if you've ever played Telestrations or Scrawl, this game is played exactly the same way. If not, it's basically a cross between pictionary and telephone.

A group of friends enter a lobby and start the game. The game has ~1200 words and phrases, each player is given their own word or phrase. This begins their timeline.

Each player does their best to draw out their word or phrase.

Once all players have finished and submitted their drawing, the drawing is passed to another player and you are given the drawing of another player. You then try to guess what the original phrase or word was. You don't know who drew the picture. Once you make a guess, you have "touched" the timeline. You will not touch this timeline again.

Once all players have made a guess, the guess is passed onto another player who has not yet touched the timeline. You are given someone else's guess, with no vision of what drawings or other guesses came before this guess. All you have is a guess, which you draw out. This is also considered "touching" a timeline.

Once everyone has touched everyone else's timeline, the guess/draw phase ends and presentation mode begins. Making a word/phrase guess or drawing is considered touching, and you will only do one of those things for each timeline, not both.

In presentation mode, everyone views the same timeline at once. Only the creator of the timeline has presentation controls. He/She is able to go forwards and backward through the timeline freely. As the presenetaion controller goes forwards and backwards, the viewer will see the same exact slide the presenter is currently on.

The presenter will pick the guess or drawing they think is the "best". When they submit their vote, the next timeline is presented and controls are given to the originator of that timeline. Because of this "presentation" mode, we've found it best to be in some voip app such as discord or skype so laughs can be had and shared.

Game is Recommended to be played with at least 4 people.

Here is an example of how the game works with 4 people

Round 1
Everyone get's a word/phrase from the game.
Person A draws their word/phrase, this begins timeline A
Person B draws their word/phrase, this begins timeline B
Person C draws their word/phrase, this begins timeline C
Person D draws their word/phrase, this begins timeline D

Round 2
Everyone's image is passed onto another person
Person A gets D's drawing, guesses what it is ( For Timeline D)
Person B gets A's drawing, guesses what it is ( For Timeline A)
Person C gets B's drawing, guesses what it is ( For Timeline B)
Person D gets C's drawing, guesses what it is ( For Timeline C)

Round 3
Everyone receives a word/phrase and now draws this word/phrase
Person A get's D's guess, and draws it ( For Timeline C)
Person B get's A's guess, and draws it ( For Timeline D)
Person C get's B's guess, and draws it ( For Timeline A)
Person D get's C's guess, and draws it ( For Timeline B)

Round 4
Everyone receives a drawing
Person A get's what D just drew, guesses what it is ( For Timeline B )
Person B get's what A just drew, guesses what it is ( For Timeline C )
Person C get's what B just drew, guesses what it is ( For Timeline D )
Person D get's what C just drew, guesses what it is ( For Timeline A )

Presentation mode, each player presents their own timeline as everyone watches until it is their turn to present their timeline

Timeline A
Drawing from Person A, Guess from Person B, Drawing from Person C, Guess from Person D

Timeline B
Drawing from Person B, Guess from Person C, Drawing from Person D, Guess from Person A

Timeline C
Drawing from Person C, Guess from Person D, Drawing from Person A, Guess from Person B

Timeline D
Drawing from Person D, Guess from Person A, Drawing from Person B, Guess from Person C

More players = more rounds as each person will have to touch everyone else's timeline
