Keyhole Games
Six friends in a lamplit living room, laughing at a game on their phones, with a TV at the edge of the picture.

Coming soon

A drawing party game where nobody has to draw

Coming soon // 4 to 10 players

Build a picture from felt shapes on your phone. Someone secretly nudges it towards its evil twin, and the room has to work out which is which.

Coming soon

Drawing party games have a catch: half the room refuses to play because they cannot draw. This one removes the problem. Nobody draws. You build your picture on your phone from felt shapes, the way you would on a felt board, and the game does the rest. It is not open yet, so this page explains how a round will go.

How this drawing party game works

  1. Everyone gets a secret prompt and builds a picture of it from felt shapes on their phone.
  2. Someone else secretly adds a piece or two to push the picture towards its evil twin, a different thing that looks a lot like it.
  3. The room works out which one it really is. You look at the finished picture and decide whether it is the real prompt or the twin.

The games run in short rounds, and at the end the room hands out playful awards. There is no worst-player list.

Why nobody has to draw

There is no pen, no tracing and no free-hand line. Every picture is made of ready-cut shapes, so a stick-figure artist and a real one both end up with something that looks like a picture, and the fun is in the picking and the sabotage. It also means there is nothing to type.
