2. Role selection

When the game starts, one trouble painter will be randomly selected, and all other players will play the role of good painter.

Trouble Painter

  • You start painting by drawing without knowing the keyword.
  • You must not be discovered by good painters.
  • Even if your identity is discovered, you can win by matching the drawing keyword.

Good Painter

  • Knows the keyword to draw in the picture.
  • You shouldn’t let the trouble painter know your keywords.
  • Look at the picture and find out who the trouble painter is.

If a cozy bear appears<br> you are a good painter!If a cozy bear appears
you are a good painter!

3. Keyword drawing

The game is played over two rounds, with each player taking turns drawing. When it is your turn, the background color changes, and since you can only draw one stroke per turn, a drawing animation will appear as a guide, saying Draw only one stroke.

At first, you draw one stroke. This condition may feel frustrating, but if you play a few games with friends, you will experience that the less and abstractly you draw, the more fun the game becomes 😋

The picture can be drawn with a randomly selected color when entering the room. It takes 15 seconds per turn, and if you want to edit the picture, you can press the Clear button at the bottom right. You can also enjoy a faster game by using the Pass Turn button.

Also, six reactions have been implemented so that you can communicate with other users even when it is not your turn. 🙌

4. Touble Painter Vote

It’s time to find Trouble Painter through real-time voting. Please vote for the player who seems to have drawn without knowing the keyword since the background color of the profile and the drawing line color are the same! 🗳️

The player with the most votes will be named the <span style=color:#FF774C>Trouble Painter</span>.The player with the most votes will be named the Trouble Painter.

5. Keyword Guessing

If you find Trouble Painter in the vote, the keyword guessing time will begin. Good Painters can see the keyword that Trouble Painter enters in real time.

For the Trouble Painter, who fights alone without any teammates, we’ve implemented an AI Hint feature using the Gemini API. This feature allows Gemini to look at the drawings made by players and give hints to the Trouble Painter.

Gemini provides hints for the keyword Motocycle

This is how Gemini expressed the keyword motorcycle after looking at the picture.
It’s a small, swift machine that can slip through narrow alleys with ease. Quick and agile, it cuts through the wind, roaming freely wherever it goes.

6. Game Results

The victory conditions for each role are as follows, and you will be moved to the waiting room 15 seconds after the game ends.
