Gartic Rush io is a multiplayer drawing and guessing game played in pairs. You have just seven seconds to draw a word or figure out what your partner is drawing. Not much time for artistic talent, really.

How to play

Pick a nickname and avatar, create a private room and share its code with a friend. You can also join someone else's room using their code. During the game, you'll take turns drawing words and guessing each other's pictures. The trick is to make your drawing recognizable almost immediately. Nobody has time to admire the details.

If you've played Gartic io or Skribbl io, you already know the basic idea. Gartic Rush io takes away most of your thinking time. Seven seconds is barely enough to draw a cat, and your partner might still think it's a potato. Having someone who understands your terrible drawings helps quite a lot.
