  • Question
    How do I use a bot to draw in Skribbl.io?
    Community Answer
    Please don't. If you do, then it will be a lot less fun. The point of the game is to draw and guess, not to have a picture copy and pasted.

    Community Answer
    Yes. Most of the time when you join a server there will be more than two players.

  • Question
    Beside the colors is a pencil, a rectangle, and paint pot. What do they mean? How can they be used?
    Ruby
    Top Answerer
    The rectangle is an eraser, you can use it to erase a part of your drawing you aren't happy with. The paint pot is to fill a space with a certain colour.
  • Question
    How do I fill up space (in my drawing, e.g. sky) with colour (paint)?

    Community Answer
    There should be a paint symbol on the bottom of the drawing tablet. You can click on that symbol, choose your color, then click anywhere to fill it.
  • Question
    How do you pause the game?
    Ruby
    Top Answerer
    You can't. You are playing in real time with real people, so pausing the game is not an option.
  • Question
    How many drawings are there in one round?
    Ruby
    Top Answerer
    There are as many drawing as there are players. Each game has three rounds. In each of these rounds, you start with the most recent player to join and work upwards. If any new player joins, they won't be able to draw until the next round.
  • Question
    I noticed a lot of spelling errors in one language. Is there a way to correct them?
    Linnie

    As a player, you can't edit the word list, but you can contact skribbl.io to inform them of the errors. Click "Contact" at the bottom of the screen to email skribbl.io's contact team.
  • Question
    Can someone using a computer play with someone using a mobile device with a shared link?
    Linnie
    Top Answerer
    If one of you creates a private room and shares the link with the other, you can play the game together regardless of your devices.
  • Question
    Can I just guess and not draw?
    Linnie
    Top Answerer
    The option to skip a drawer is not available, so everyone in the room will have to draw once per round. If you don't draw when it's your turn, you may be votekicked.
  • Question
    How can a drawer maximize their points?
    Linnie
    Top Answerer
    A drawer gets more points when more people guess the word correctly. If you can get everyone to guess the word, you will get the maximum amount of drawer points.
  • Question
    What is the age rating? Is ten too young?
    Linnie
    Top Answerer
    Anyone can play the game, as all the demo words should be appropriate. Be aware, however, that if you aren't using a private room, some people may make rude or inappropriate comments or drawings.
  • Question
    Once I guess the word correctly, can I tell it to other people who haven’t guessed it on the game, or can they not see my chats?
    Ruby
    Top Answerer
    The drawer and any other people who have guessed the word cannot talk to those who have not guessed the word, otherwise it would make the game easier and would ruin the game. If you haven't guessed the word, you can only see the chat of others who have not guessed the word.
  • Question
    How can I practice my drawing so that I'm better at the game?
    Lara
    Community Answer
    You could draw a few simple sketches in a notepad, or to get the feel of playing Skribbl.io, you might even like to try drawing something on a computer. You can use a tool such as Microsoft Paint or something similar to do this.

    There should be some circles at the bottom of the screen when you are drawing, if you click one of them, it should change the colour of your pen to whatever colour you picked.
  • Question
    I don't have the text box to write my answer, what should I do?
