Terms of Use

These terms cover the Sketch It drawing game on the web at sketchit.game and in the mobile apps. By creating or joining a room, you agree to them and to the Privacy Policy.

Players aged 13 to 17 need a parent or guardian's permission to play Sketch It. A parent or guardian can ask us to delete their child's data by emailing [email protected].

The game

Sketch It is a drawing game with temporary rooms. There are no accounts. The server owns the timer, prompts, and scores. Rooms end after two hours or a server restart.

AI guessing

To guess your drawing, the app sends each changed, nonblank drawing image from your device to the Sketch It game server. The game server passes the image to a third-party AI service for recognition. The service receives the image through the game server and does not receive your name or the target word. The image is sent only so the service can guess what you drew. Other players never receive it, and the app does not save drawing history.

The AI service handles the image under its own terms and privacy policy, which cover any retention it applies, including for abuse monitoring. Sketch It does not ask the service to keep your drawing. Contact Support to ask which service this deployment uses.

Your name and content

The server assigns your display name from a built-in list, so you do not write it. Other players see that server-assigned name and your score. The app does not show drawings to other players.

App waitlist

The iOS and Android apps are in the app stores, and the entry screen links to both listings. The website takes no new waitlist sign-ups. Joining was optional and separate from playing. Loops, our email provider, keeps the email address you submitted so we can share Sketch It news. The Privacy Policy explains how long we keep it and how to be removed. Submit only an email address that you use.

Acceptable use

Do not attack, overload, or misuse the service, and do not use it to break the law. We may remove a room that breaks these terms.

Availability and changes

The service is provided as is, without warranties. It may change or stop at any time. We may update these terms; continuing to play means you accept the update.

Passes

Host passes are sold on the website through Stripe. The pricing page states the price and whether a pass is one-time or renews. These terms and the Terms of Service apply. The iOS and Android apps do not sell passes. Players do not need an account to play. A host signs in with an email code only when buying.
