Guess the Doodle
What is Guess the Doodle?
Guess the Doodle is a daily drawing-guessing game built around a single, shared doodle. Each day, a drawing made by a real person reveals itself one line at a time, and the goal is to identify the subject as early as possible.

A line-by-line reveal is a clever difficulty curve, but the real test is whether a rushed stranger's doodle stays fair until the very end.

Perfect for a coffee break: one doodle a day, about two minutes, and you can just press next line if you're stuck.
How to play Guess the Doodle
Players watch the first line appear, then type a guess and select it from a list. A wrong guess triggers the next line to draw itself, and players can also press a 'Next line' button to reveal more of the drawing voluntarily. The score is determined by the number of lines that have been drawn when the correct answer is given, with fewer lines being better. After the final line is revealed, players receive three additional guesses and a hint about the category of the object.
Tips & strategy
- The doodles are drawn by real people in under 20 seconds, so the drawings tend to focus on outlines and basic shapes rather than detailed renderings.
- A large circle early in the drawing often represents a face, ball, clock, or fruit.
- If the game says a guess is 'close', the player has the right idea but needs a different word.
Frequently asked questions
How is the game scored?

Where do the doodles come from?
