Foldoodle: the drawing game that hides the word in the fold

Short description

Foldoodle is a cooperative draw-and-guess game for families. On iPhone Duo, fold it shut to see the secret word on the outer display, then unfold and draw.

Description

One person draws, the others guess. Sixty seconds per round, ten rounds per game, and everyone plays together against the clock. Before each round a handicap card makes drawing harder on purpose: lines fade after three seconds, everything is mirrored, you get one single stroke, or you use your other hand.

On iPhone Duo the fold is part of the game. The drawer folds the phone shut and reads the word on the outer display, hidden from everyone else. Unfolding starts the round on the large inner display. On iPhone and iPad the device lies flat on the table and the guesser sees the drawing the right way up.

Playing alone? Doodlebot watches you draw and guesses live, with cheeky remarks when it is way off. It runs entirely on the device, works offline and never sends drawings anywhere.

Children who can't read yet play with picture words: every word comes with a finished drawing, and Foldoodle reads words and cards aloud in all eleven languages.
