About the game
Doodle Dash is a party game where the players draw the same word at the same time. It's a drawing competition where speed can beat skill, so anyone can win! Win by being the fastest doodler, but watch out – you only score if the guesser can actually tell what your drawing is! Each round, one player is the guesser, and all other players are drawers. The drawers try to draw a word as fast and accurate as they can. The guesser takes turns guessing the word for that round from each drawing, beginning with the player who finished their drawing first. The player whose drawing is the first to be guessed correctly, wins the round, and the guesser and that drawer receive 1 point each. At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins. —description from the designer AWARDS AND HONORS: 2022/23 Norwegian Party Game of the Year WINNER 2022/23 Norwegian Party Game of the Year NOMINEE 2021 Golden Geek Best Party Game Nominee 2021 Dice Tower Best Party Game Nominee

Questions and answers
Doodle Dash supports 3–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Doodle Dash is 15–20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Doodle Dash for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Doodle Dash has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
