Who it's for

Party groups who enjoy drawing games with a hidden-role twist and don't mind laughing at genuinely chaotic, uncontrollable sketches.

Not for you if…

If your group takes drawing skill seriously or wants recognizable art, the whole point here is that nobody can see what they're drawing.

Vibe's take

Giggly and unpredictable – nobody, including the artist, really knows what's appearing on the page until everyone opens their eyes together.

About this game

Ghosts Can't Draw hands someone a pencil and takes away their eyes. Players rest their fingers on a shared planchette-like 'ghost,' eyes closed, while one person secretly steers it into a spooky doodle. Everyone opens their eyes to a mystery sketch and has to guess what it's supposed to be, and if you can also finger the secret ghost artist, you score an extra vote.
