Q&A for How to Create a Private Room in Skribbl.io

It doesn't matter where you send it. You can send it by text, by email, on social media or if you are with them you can just show them the link and they can type it in the search bar. Bear in mind anyone with the access to the link can join your game so you might want to send it privately if you only want certain people in the game.

No. Only the host can put custom words. Other people can't add custom words and won't see what words you put there.

To start a private lobby after you make the settings, you have to have at least one more player.

Clicking play will join you to a random lobby and not yours. For him to join your private room, just send him your room link and he must click the link you sent him and he will join your room.

You cannot start your private game until at least one more player joins your game. Just send your link to your friends and then they click the link and they go to your private room so you can start the game.

That happens because when you click play, you will go to a random lobby. When you have your friend's code, click it to go to your friend's lobby.

No, the one with the crown is whoever has the most points or the one who created the private server.

No, you have to create the private room when you want to use it, you cannot save it

You can have up to 12 players in your private lobby, as that is the maximum number.

You are automatically a player in the game even if you are a host. But you can not give answers or leave the game and watch the players play, if you'd like.

When you click play, it joins you to a random lobby. To join your friends, create a private lobby.

Normally, when it spins, it means it's loading and just takes a few seconds. But if it keeps on spinning, try to check your internet, or restart your laptop, or even close the browser and reopen it again.

When creating a private group, there is a box which displays a link. Send your friend that link, and once they click on it, they should be in your private group.

Try restarting, or close the page and open it again.

Get the link from the room’s host and click on it. This will take you to the menu screen, where you can customize your avatar and choose a name before joining. You might have to watch an ad before entering the game.

Once you create a private room, a link will appear. Share this link with your friends, and they will be able to join.

If you leave and there are no more people in your room, the link will automatically redirect you to a random room.

You do not need to add custom words before starting, though adding them could make the game more fun.

Custom words are added in addition to the default words, so you might not see them on your first turn.

It could be a technical issue. Try restarting the game or closing the page and reopening it.

You can only join the lobby if you have the correct URL. These website links contain many letters and numbers at the end, so the chances of someone joining uninvited are incredibly slim.

It is possible to be put in a public room with your friends, however this can't be guaranteed and the room will likely have other people you don't know in it as well.

No, you cannot hear each other when you play. If you would like to, you could arrange a call between the participants so that you can communicate as you play, but this is not a necessity.

This does not normally happen. Your connection may be weak, or your device may be lagging.

You can add as many as you want, but you have to have a minimum of four words. Words can have a maximum of 30 characters.

There is now a "more player" support that holds up to 12 players (including you). This comes in handy if you have a lot of friends.

Unless you have the correct link, you will not be able to access the private room. Once all participants leave the private room, Skribbl.io will not generate the same link again. In other words, once the session is over, it's not likely the private room will be accessed again.

It is possible, but highly unlikely because you need to an exact link in order to join. If by some miracle a stranger guessed your URL, they could join your game, but this is near impossible as the links are very random.

Yes. If you want them to be the only words that can be used, click the checkbox that asks if you want them to be used exclusively.

You can't draw because your game is glitching. To fix the problem, just restart your page and join a different game.
