Isketch.net is a great website, where you can play a superb pictionary game for free! From the main page, you can either click Play Now or Instructions. The instructions are detailed and tell you the rules as well as how to draw and how to type. You can type to guess the words of what they are drawing, and you can also talk in the chat box.

This pictionary game is superior to any other, because the whole site is devoted to this one game. As well as following the basic concept of drawing and guessing words, there are a number of rooms that have different genres such as animals and more. You can also interact with other players by typing messages and doing stuff such as greeting, slapping and hugging people!

The game uses Adobe Flash Player, so you need to download and install this before you can play. The site is very simple and you can be playing within a minute of entering the address. The site has a blue colour scheme with white too. At the moment, you cannot register an account, but there is an option where you type in your password, which may come into effect in the future. For now, you can enter any name that isn't being used and then log on.

In the main menu, you will be shown several things. Down the left side is a large area. Here, it gives you a bit of information on what to do. At the top are the following options: Studio, Create Room, Settings. The studio is great and you can practice drawing here. You also have an extra tool, which draws symmetrical lines and you can have up to 16 lines of symmetry to create fabulous drawings and save them! In your settings, you can change game preferences as well as enter personal information and a picture. In create room; you literally create your own room. You can choose a title, player limit, round limit and time devoted for the winner's glory at the end of each game.

Down the right side of the main menu is sections where you can choose the room you wish to enter. The default title is English, which has a long list of all the English rooms. You then have French to the right and other languages to the right of that. These other languages include Dutch, German, Turkish, Spanish, Danish, Finnish, Flemish, Italian, Indonesian, Latin, Portuguese, Swedish, Brazilian and Slovakian! As you can see, there is a huge range of languages making this game very appealing! Choose an appropriate room and then get going! Under the English category, they have US rooms too, because words may be different here.

There is also a list for special rooms, social rooms and user created rooms. The special rooms feature many different categories such as video games, animals, and fictional characters, Halloween, movies, music, poker, religion, plants, science, sport, verbs, food, geography, colours and many more!! All these rooms can be played in and you will have to draw (on your turn) and guess the words of the pictures related to the topic.

When in the game, you will either have a turn to draw or be guessing words. When you guess words, make sure you have clicked and highlighted the correct upper box, as this is where you guess. The box below can be clicked on for chatting, but most people can't be bothered and chat in the guessing box anyway. When drawing, you can use a paintbrush, spray can and other tools along with different colours and shapes.

With all the tools, it makes it possible to draw anything really, but it is quite hard by moving the mouse around to draw in detail! I cannot draw at all with it - I'm terrible! You earn points for drawing well when others can guess your word correctly and you also earn points for actually guessing words. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins. There is then a black screen with their name in gold at the top spinning round with fireworks and sound effects going off! This gives the winner great glory!

When someone wins, it leads onto a lot of slapping normally, which is quite funny as there are sound effects too. In the chat box, it will also say things such as 'Player 1 has just slapped Player 2 with a big slimy fish!' and similar funnier ones. You can also hug, kiss, greet and laugh at people by clicking their name. The community on the game is quite good, but it is free and easy to get on and play so there are quite a few people that ruin the game. However, they get booted by people with enough authority to do so, who have played the game lots.

Overall, it is a great game and very simple and easy to play. It is the best pictionary game out there compared to others. It is very easy to sign in and get playing with tonnes of different rooms so you can draw and guess for your favourite topics! There are also a range of rooms in different languages, so if you speak another language you can play too! If you want to try out your French or German, then you can head to one of these rooms. It is very fun and works brilliantly with many options, meaning you can be on there for ages having fun!
