This tool processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Favorites store only tool names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. When a button sends your result to another tool, it waits in this tab until that tool opens it, for up to a minute, and is then deleted.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Language: English

Sharing and starting over
A copied link includes what you entered and your settings, so anyone with it can see them. Leave private text out. Files and results are not included; random draws are made again.
Start over puts the tool back to its starting values and closes any open file or device. Drafts you saved stay on this device until you delete them.
 
 
  
 
  
 
Give the actor a prompt, then put the screen away
Choose everyday actions, sports, animals, roles or situations. The actor reveals a prompt and acts it without saying the answer. Skip with Next prompt; it will stay out of the draw until you reset.
Easy prompts use recognizable actions. More challenging prompts add a situation or an unexpected combination. Agree on your own round length and passing rule before you begin.

Worked example
Opening an umbrella gives the actor a clear motion to mime. A robot learning to dance adds a character and a situation for the group to guess.
Next: Pictionary word generator
 
Before you rely on the result
Draw history shows previously revealed answers. Keep it closed while others are guessing. These prompts have no age rating; the organizer can skip or adapt any prompt for the group.
