What Scribble Race is
One player draws a secret word, everyone else races to type it. Letters appear as hints while the clock runs, faster guesses score more, and the pen passes round the table. In a team room the whole floor plays at once and tables score together.
Scribble Race is a browser drawing-and-guessing game. The drawer chooses from three words, then uses pictures rather than letters or numbers to help the group. Everyone else guesses on their own device.
Correct guesses are acknowledged privately, so one fast player does not immediately reveal the answer to everyone. As time passes, letter hints make the word easier; faster guesses score more. The drawer also earns points when players understand the picture.

How to play Scribble Race
- One player holds the pen. They pick one of three words and draw it — pictures only, no letters or numbers.
- Everyone else types guesses. A right guess turns green for you alone; wrong ones land in the feed for the whole table to enjoy.
- As the clock runs, letters of the word appear in the blanks. Guess before the hints give it away.
- Faster guesses score more, and the drawer scores for every person who gets it. Then the pen passes to the next seat.
- Most points after the last round wins. On a whole floor, tables score together.
