Drawful 2 works just like other Jackbox games, with a console or computer running the main game display and 3-8 players connecting via the internet on phones or tablets to input your individual answers and drawings.
This game is a standalone sequel to a mini-game from the original Jackbox Party Pack. All the players are given individual prompts to draw something at the start of a round, after which the submissions are shown one at a time and everyone else comes up with their suggestions for what the drawing is meant to represent. The final step is that everyone then tries to spot the correct answer, with points awarded for guessing correctly and deceiving other players. It’s a fun party game.
Of course, it was intended to be played in person, where everyone can see the main screen, but the games do support play with the main screen streamed to others. With teleconference apps like Zoom, Google Hangouts and others seeing a boom in usage, they’ve updated their guide on how to stream the game to others using these services. Alternatively you can lean on YouTube or Twitch for more traditional streaming, and the company’s games do support audience participation through these.
We’ve updated our “How to Play Remotely” blog with some additional links and video tutorials. There aren’t perfect solutions for every platform but with some rigging, it can be a great experience! https://t.co/SbYQ3pU0i0 #SocialDistancing pic.twitter.com/QAVBBeUMVm
