iSketch Addiction

Friday, April 1st, 2005

Am having a couple of days off to get over the flu.

I spent a couple of hours yesterday competing with online scribblers - playing “iSketch”. The way it works is you join a group of online players who have agreed to use a particular vocabulary (which may be English Easy, Intermediate or Difficult). There are ten timed rounds in which one person draws while the others guess what it might be. Once someone gets it right the time speeds up. You get 10 points for the first person who gets yours right. After that there’s one point for each extra correct guess. You get points for guessing, 10 if you’re the first, 9 if you’re second, and so on.

iSketch

The game is a bit like a shockwave version of Pictionary.

All of the family are now likely to have addictive episodes with iSketch, though we can’t be more than one person from the same address in the same game at one time. All in all, good competitive addictive interactive fun.
