Q&A for How to Play Skribbl.io

If you want to exit a game, all you need to do is close the tab or refresh the page. There is no exit button.

Yes; there should be a big yellow button that says "Votekick" below the space where all the characters are.

Try refreshing the page. If it still appears like this, try on another device and it should hopefully work.

To send the word, press the enter key on your keyboard. On some mobile devices, there might be a "Go" option that you should use instead.

You type your answer into the box where it says "Type your guess here..." in grey letters. Then once you have completed your guess, press return/enter on your keyboard.

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.

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

You don't. The site will reveal the letters for you, you don't control it.

Some browsers have an option to go in full screen by pressing F11 on your keyboard.

You can't. You are playing in real time with real people, so pausing the game is not an option.

Faster guessing = lots of points. Then at the end of the game, skribbl.io temporarily displays a leaderboard featuring the players and their ranks. The highest person with the highest score is declared the winner.

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.

Yes, 12 is the maximum number of players in the private room.

There is no way to save it. If you want to come back to it, take a screenshot.

That can happen. Unfortunately there is nothing you can really do about it. If you do end up getting vote kicked, just rejoin.

The game is public by default. Just press "Play!" and it will send you to an public game. There is no guarantee that you will arrive at the start of a public game, however.

No. If you don't like drawing, just leave the game before it's your turn to draw.

There should be a bunch of coloured circles at the bottom of your drawing. if you click one of them, it will change the colour.

Skribbl.io doesn't have an auto-draw feature, but some extensions give you an auto-draw privilege.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

12 or less people can play at one time, for either private games or public games.

Probably the server has left or you're taking so long you were AFK (away from keys).
