Then there’s a Werewolf-style debate once the murders have taken place where fingers of suspicion are jabbed in all directions as you try to agree on which murder case to take on. ![]() After that, you have to name a party guest and then attempt to murder another player’s party guest if you can work out who the guest belongs to. So my “O” in “Rob” could potentially become the head of a stick person, the muzzle of a gun, and so on. As both a detective and murderer, you hide letters from your name in a weapon you draw, which acts as your calling card. I’ll be honest, I’m still unsure what this game is trying to be. But the bottom line is that this is a decent variation on the already excellent Drawful and while it doesn’t shake up the formula too much, it’s still a highlight of the pack. The pacing is slower than the previous games, since you have more to draw. There are also different modes including Friend Mode which lets you draw about the participating players, and an option to make your own content. You can even double down on your answer if you’re confident, a new addition for the series. ![]() The animation (rather, flicking between the two frames) can be sped up or slowed down by the artist as appropriate, and there is a ghost image of the first frame when you’re drawing the second which acts as a handy guide for wannabe pro animators. Or, as my friends described my excellent drawing: “Bear gets in lift”. One prompt of “Lions are permitted in the elevator” may see you draw a lion waiting by the doors in the first frame, and happily sat in the elevator in the second. It sounds like it might be unnecessarily complicated but it actually works really well. Drawful Animate is an evolution of this concept, where you now have to draw two frames of a picture to essentially turn the prompt you are given into a simple GIF. The key is to try and provide a title that other players fall for, which will bag you the points if you work out the correct title, both you and the artist get points. Essentially a variation on Pictionary but with more demented prompts, you have to draw whatever nonsense is sent to your screen and then everyone else has to guess the title you were given. Out of all of the lockdown games I’ve played with friends, Drawful and Drawful 2 provided the most enjoyment by far. It might be one to fire up if you aren’t feeling particularly creative (or competitive) but it’s one of the weakest trivia games in the series to date. Also, many of the questions skewed heavily towards a US audience which makes it a bit of a downer if no-one knows specific bits of pop culture or history, for instance. ![]() It’s played for laughs throughout which is fine, but while the trivia is fun, the spinning section ultimately renders it pointless since the end game is purely about luck. If the Wheel doesn’t land on any slice, a player gets to appropriate more empty slice spaces until eventually a scoring segment is landed on. Not as good as YDKJ or Murder Party, but still pretty fun
