A Skribbl Alternative With an Imposter Twist
Love skribbl.io but want something new? WhoDrew keeps the drawing and adds a secret imposter, bluffing and voting.
Skribbl.io is great: one player draws, everyone else races to guess. WhoDrew.io is a free game like skribbl that flips it around. Everybody draws the same secret word together, one stroke at a time, except one player who doesn't know the word and has to fake it. After the drawing, the group argues and votes on who the imposter was. It's skribbl's drawing chaos mixed with the suspicion of a social deduction game.
Ready to find the imposter? Jump into a public game or make a private room for your friends. Free, no sign-up, works on phone and PC.
