Quick, Draw! is an online guessing game developed and published by Google LLC that challenges players to draw a picture of an object or concept, then uses a neural network-based artificial intelligence (AI) to guess what the drawings represent.[2] The AI learns from each drawing, improving its ability to guess correctly in future matches.[3] The game is similar to Pictionary, in the sense that the player has a limited amount of time to draw (20 seconds).[4] The concepts that it guesses can be simple, like "circle", or more complicated, like "camouflage".[2]

Gameplay

In a match of Quick, Draw!, there are a total of six rounds. During each round, the player is given 20 seconds to draw a random prompt selected from the game's database whilst the AI attempts to guess the drawing. A round ends either when the AI successfully guesses the drawing or time runs out.

At the end of a Quick, Draw! match, the player is given their drawings and results for each round. When clicking on a drawing, the player can view the AI's comparisons of their drawing with other player-given drawings, before quitting or replaying.
