Game Rules

Preparation:

First, gather all participants and ensure each person has a sheet of paper and a pen. Then, designate one person as the judge. This person will not participate in the drawing but will decide the winner.

Drawing Instructions:

To begin, the judge announces what everyone is supposed to draw. The subject can range from a simple shape to a complex scene or object.

Lights Off:

After the subject is announced, turn off the lights so the room is completely dark. Make sure no light sources are visible to keep the challenge fair. At this point, players start drawing the announced subject in the darkness.

Time Limit:

Allow a few minutes (3-5 minutes is recommended) for the players to complete their drawings. During this time, players should try their best to draw the subject as accurately or creatively as possible.

Lights On:

Once the time is up, turn the lights back on. Each player then presents their drawing to the judge.

Judging:

The judge reviews all the drawings and selects the winner based on accuracy, creativity, or any other criteria they decide. Afterward, the judge announces the winner, and the game can be repeated with a new subject if desired.

Winning the Game

The player whose drawing the judge deems the best based on the set criteria wins the game.

Tips for Success

To enhance the enjoyment and challenge of the game, encourage players to use their imagination and creativity. Emphasize that the game is meant to be fun and not to take the drawings too seriously. Furthermore, changing the drawing subjects will keep the game interesting and challenging.

Game Variations

For added excitement, try these variations:

• Theme Drawing: Choose themes for each round such as animals, holidays, or famous landmarks.
• Timed Challenge: Set a strict time limit for drawing to increase the challenge.
• Partner Drawing: Pair up players and have them collaborate on a single drawing in the dark.
