Skribbl is basically online Pictionary. The drawer (we’ll call them the “Skribbler” because I don’t know the actual name) is given a choice of 3 things to draw. They then draw whichever one they choose. The rest of the participants have to guess what the Skribbler is drawing. They can see how many letters the thing that the Skribbler chose is, and occasionally letters will reveal themselves (honestly I don’t know if there’s an algorithm for letters revealing themselves or if it’s just random). When a participant thinks they have the answer, they type it into the chat. If they guess incorrectly, all other participants can see what they guessed. If they guess correctly, the message in the chat is “[participant name] has guessed correctly!” (or something along those lines, I’m not 100% sure), and the other participants cannot see what word they typed. Depending on how long they take to guess, participants get a certain number of points. The Skribbler also gets points for other people guessing the drawing correctly.

During the Gala, the Skribbler will get 90 seconds to draw, and there will be ten rounds.

Before you enter the game, you get to choose your username and customize your avatar. Avatars are vaguely human-shaped. You can choose skin color, eyes, and mouth from a selection.
