Social drawing game to create some art together with friends

The idea is simple. Take a piece of paper and divide into three parts. Player 1 draws the head, player 2 the body, and player 3 the feet. In the end, a funny creature reveals itself. Now imagine this, just on your smartphone – the possibilities are endless-)

❤️OMG! Love it! This is a terrific idea! I used to do something similar while studying design with my friends about 10 years ago (only that instead of clearly defined parts, the continuity could happen from anywhere in the canvas), and we set 1 min of drawing time per person. It was very funny! we even did it once in a bus during an academic travel. If I am not mistaken, a similar exercise happens in poetry. Congratulations on making this! Hope this get more attention!

@alelepd Thank you 😍 Yeah, you can do something similar in poetry. Apparently, one of the phrases when the game was first played went something like "The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine." and the game was known as "Exquisite Corpse" ever since! Anyway, we know the game mechanics of the app are not perfect yet, so it would be amazing to hear what we could do to improve the app from an actual design student like you! So if there are any features you would like to see added please let us know 😊

@marten Interesting fact! In terms of design maybe you can try a colorful approach (current color feels a bit too pale/gray/sad). I think it would be fun to see a gallery of completed games from other people (like the one you have on the website).

@alelepd Thank you, will keep that in mind for future design iterations. An in-app gallery is definitely on our roadmap!

Hey PH, I am Marten, one of the makers behind ScribbleX – a social drawing game for iOS and Android. The idea for the app was born one lazy afternoon while playing a round of “Exquisite Corpse” with some friends. "Exquisite Corpse" is an old parlor game that was invented as creativity exercise by surrealists way back in the 1920s. The game is simple. Take a piece of paper and divide it into three parts. Now, player 1 draws a face on the first part of the paper, folds it over and passes it to player 2. Player 2 then draws the body, folds it again and passes it to player 3. Player 3 draws the legs or feet on the third part of the paper. In the end, you unfold the paper and a funny creature reveals itself. We thought that the game would be great on mobile but couldn’t find it anywhere. So we decided that it would make for a nice side project. We originally released the app almost a year ago. Unfortunately, we only get to work on it in our free time and on weekends so progress has been a bit slow. With the recent Covid-19 crisis, we thought it would be good opportunity to give the app a nice general overhaul and present it to a broader audience. It’s completely free, so we would love to hear what you think!
