Pictionary
Pictionary was the first game of its kind that has a gameplay where players have fun drawing and guessing what each other has drawn. However, its move to digital media has been a tad bit slow, especially considering how popular Zynga’s Draw Something was way… back then. That being said, Pictionary does add something new to the genre to make itself stand out.Aside from the usual gameplay of draw-and-guess, Pictionary has a special game mode called Think Fast where you'll be competing against another player to guess the same word from the same drawing for 5 consecutive rounds. Naturally, time is of the essence. The one who guessed correctly first will be able to proceed to the next round more quickly and will likely be able to finish the whole match first. The game also allows you to link up your game account with your Facebook account so you can challenge your friends to a friendly word-guessing match.
Pictionary is a pretty fun word-guessing game that allows you to come up with creative ways to draw the words you get. It’s definitely a decent and less-crowded alternative to Draw Something.
