Drawing is Hard

Auto-Evolving Pictionary

http://drawingishard.online:3000

Drawing is Hard is a party game in which participants use mobile devices as controllers to a central monitor. Each player is given a weird prompt to draw, then take turns trying to guess the subject. The real subject is mixed with the proposed subjects, and players must guess the original prompt. Players score 10 points for finding the correct prompt, and 5 points for every player that mistakenly chooses their submission.

Players can thumb submissions up or down for humor. At the end of the game, the highest rated submissions are added to the database as new prompts, thus causing the selection of prompts to evolve over time.
