RoomfulA drawing party game, played on your phones
In Doodle Duel, a prompt goes up on the TV, like "A dinosaur at the dentist". Everyone draws it with a finger on their own phone. The TV shows every drawing side by side, numbered and with no names, and everyone votes on their phone for the best one. Each vote is 2 points to the artist.
