About GARTIC io
Game Description
Gartic.io is basically an online Pictionary where you and a bunch of random folks take turns drawing a word and trying to guess what everyone else is doodling. You get a word, draw it with your mouse or finger if you’re on mobile, and everyone else types guesses until someone gets it right or time runs out. It’s pretty chill and doesn’t need you to install anything—just hop in and start sketching. The words can be pretty random, so sometimes you’re stuck drawing stuff that’s hard to explain, which leads to some funny moments. Overall, it’s just a quick way to mess around with people online and see who’s got the best guesswork or drawing skills.
Story Background
There isn’t a story or setting here since it’s not that kind of game. It’s just a casual drawing and guessing party with no theme, so the background is whatever you make it during each round.
Game Information
Why This Game is Addictive
I keep coming back because it’s super easy to jump in and play a quick round or two without much setup. Also, some of the words make you scratch your head, and then the crazy guesses from others are honestly hilarious. It’s that mix of ‘Can I actually draw this?’ and ‘Wait, what did they just guess?’ that keeps me around.
How to Play
Desktop Controls
You just use your mouse to draw and the keyboard to type guesses. Pretty straightforward—click and drag to draw lines, pick colors with your mouse, and type your guesses in the chat box.
Mobile Controls
On mobile, you use your finger to draw right on the screen and the keyboard pops up to type guesses. Everything fits the screen nicely, so you just tap, draw, and type.
Pro Tips & Strategies
Don’t stress about making perfect drawings, simple shapes usually get the point across.
Try to guess quickly because the faster you get it, the more points you rack up.
Use the erase tool sparingly; sometimes it’s better to just keep going than fix small mistakes.
If you play with friends, use private rooms so you’re not distracted by random spammers.
Keep an eye on the timer, because once it’s low, people start throwing out wild guesses just to get something right.
