GET READY FOR A NEW WAY TO PLAY PICTIONARY!

OBJECT OF THE GAME

Take turns drawing clues in the air while your teammates guess the images that appear on 
the screen. The team with the most points after 10 rounds wins!

GAME SET UP

Divide into 2 teams. Randomly choose the 
team that will go first. The starting team 
selects a Picturist – a player who will 
sketch first. Set the card box in a spot 
near where the Picturist will stand. The 
cards are double-sided, but equal in 
difficulty. Pick one side of the cards to 
play. When you are done with that side, 
you can turn the box around and play from 
the opposite side.  

NOTE:

 The Picturist should not see what they are drawing on screen, even if they are 

streaming to a TV. This is why Pictionary Air™ is so different and hilarious. In fact, looking 
at the image on the screen may only confuse you.

LET’S PLAY!

 

The Picturist takes a card from the deck and secretly looks at the words to be played. 

The 

clues can be drawn in any order.

 You only get one card per turn and cannot draw 

another card if all 5 clues have been guessed. 
When the Picturist announces they are ready, the player using the app will start the 

TIMER

To draw, make sure the lighted pen tip is facing the handheld device. Hold down the button 
on the Pictionary Air™ pen when you want to draw. Release the button when you do not 
want a line drawn. You can press and release the button as many times as you need to draw 
the image.   
If the clue has been guessed by one of the Picturist’s teammates, they will announce it 
and the device-holder/teammate will score it on the app. Each clue that is guessed 
correctly is worth 1 point. 
If the Picturist wants to restart their sketch, they say “clear!”. At this point, the device 
holder should 

CLEAR 

the screen. 

When time is up, it’s the next team’s turn to sketch and guess. Play continues for 10 rounds, 
alternating teams and Picturists. 

INTERACTING WITH YOUR IMAGE

You are encouraged to interact with your clues; however, this is not simply a game of 
charades. You must draw an image first that can be interacted with.

WINNING THE GAME

After 10 rounds of play, the team with the most points wins!

YOU CAN...

•  Interact with the image as long as you draw something first (See info box for more detail.)
•  Draw anything related to the word, no matter how weak the link is
•  Break words down into a number of syllables
•  Draw “dock” for “doc”, or “flu” for “flue”, etc.
•  Use symbols 

YOU CANNOT...

  Use letters or numbers

•  Use “ears” for “sounds like” or dashes to show the number of letters in the word
•  Speak to your teammates, unless you are telling them they guessed correctly
•  Use sign language

STRICTNESS

How precise an answer must be is up to the teams playing and should be agreed at the start of the 
game. For example, is “bunk” acceptable for “bunk bed”? “Enlarged” for “enlarge”?

DRAW BIG!

Before playing for the first 

time, have the Picturist draw 

a large square so they 

understand how much space 

they have.

NOTE: Lighting conditions may 

affect your experience. Consult the 

Pictionary Air™ app for helpful 

guidelines. 

INTERACT!

This is not charades, but you 

can interact with your 

drawings. 

CLEAR THE IMAGE!

If you get lost and can’t

remember what you drew, 

have your teammate press 

the CLEAR buמּon on the 

app to clear the image and 

start again.
