Team BridgeA skribbl.io alternative for work
Scribble is the draw-and-guess game you know from skribbl.io, made for playing with your team: a private lobby link, no ads, no strangers joining, and it runs next to your Zoom or Teams call. It’s free.
Scribble, Cosel, Fake Artist and Codenames are free to play. Players join from the link without an account.
Scribble and friends in action
Scribble: Marcus draws a robot while the team’s guesses come in, one of them close 
Cosel: The reveal: Sofia’s snowman with an umbrella became Marcus’s guess “Snowman on the beach” 
Fake Artist: The finished drawing of “light”: every player added one stroke in their colour, and one of them is faking it
skribbl.io, Gartic Phone and TeamBridge
All three are good drawing games. The difference is who they’re made for: skribbl.io and Gartic Phone are free party sites for anyone online; TeamBridge is made for running a game with your coworkers.

Why teams switch from skribbl.io
No ads in front of your team
A video ad between rounds is fine with friends; less so in a client-facing team or an all-hands.
More than one game
Teams play every week. After Scribble there’s Cosel, Fake Artist and Draw Battle, then word, trivia and icebreaker games when the team wants a change.
Made for big calls
Scribble takes 3 to 100 players, and Fake Artist and Draw Battle work for a whole department.
Works with your meeting
Everyone draws on their own screen while you talk on Zoom, Teams or Meet; nobody has to share a screen.
Questions
Is TeamBridge free like skribbl.io?
Scribble is free to play, without ads, and so are Cosel, Fake Artist, Codenames and three other games. Premium games such as Draw Battle are included with a TeamBridge pass.
Is there a Gartic Phone alternative for work?
Yes: Cosel. Everyone writes a phrase, the chains pass around the team and are drawn and guessed in turn, and at the end you watch each chain from phrase to madness. It’s free.
Can I use my own words?
Not yet. Scribble picks from Easy, Medium, Hard, Objects and People word sets, which you choose in the lobby, plus Christmas and Thanksgiving packs for the holidays. You can also set the draw time and the number of rounds.
How many people can play Scribble?
From 3 to 100 players in one lobby. For very big calls, Fake Artist and Draw Battle are made for groups of up to 200.
Do players need an account?
No. The host signs in and shares the lobby link; everyone else picks a name and plays in the browser on a laptop or phone.
