Questions
How do you play Fake Artist online?
Open a lobby and paste the link in the meeting chat. Everyone but the fake artist sees the word; each player adds one stroke per turn to the same drawing, and then the group votes on who was faking it.
How many people can play?
From 4 up to 200 in one lobby, so it works for a small team and an all-hands. A game takes 5 to 20 minutes.
Do I need to be able to draw?
No. Each turn is a single line, so the game is about bluffing and spotting the bluff, not drawing well.
Is Fake Artist free? Do players need an account?
Yes, it’s free to try. Fake Artist is one of the free games, and a new host gets 5 free games with no card. The host signs up to open the lobby; players open the link in their browser and pick a name, with no account and no download.
