How many drawing prompts are there?

959 in all: 68 funny scenes and 891 single words across six themes. Every tap picks one at random.

Do I need to sign up?

No. The generator is free and works straight away, on a phone or a computer. The prompts you pick are not saved or sent anywhere.

Where do the ideas come from?

They are the words and scenes from Doodle Dash, the drawing party game on PlaywithBuddies. Each one had to be something a friend could draw in about a minute and the rest of the room could recognise.

Can I use these to play a drawing game with friends?

Yes. Take turns drawing a prompt while the others guess, or play Doodle Dash, which deals these same words and scenes out automatically.
