Draw Something vs Pictionary
Draw Something
Draw Something is the “World’s Most Popular Drawing Game” and this is not surprising, especially if you are around when this game was "The Game" to play on your mobile devices and eventually, on Facebook. In this game, you'll draw a word or phrase you are assigned and you'll need to guess what the other person is trying to say through their own doodles as well. Considering that the game has been around for years, you will have tons of words to show your creativity with. There are badges to be earned and achievements too. If you do happen to create a work of art, you might even get featured on the game's Facebook page!Draw Something is one of Zynga's biggest mobile success to date. The game shot to fame back when many serious (actual) artists used the site to make some incredible masterpieces using only the tools available. Even as the hype around this game died down with the emergence of tons of clones and copycats, this game made history and that's what matters. It will still remain in the minds and hearts of many as being the first of its kind to actually "make it".
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.
