Hot Potato Draw

Hot Potato Draw is the drawing "telephone" game for one shared iPad. Player 1 gets a secret prompt and draws it. The next player gets a quick peek, then tries to redraw from memory. By the last player, "a snake wearing a top hat" has become… something else entirely. Open the curtains and watch the whole story fall apart, drawing by drawing.

It's the rare screen that gathers the family around it instead of scattering everyone into their own worlds — and the fun is in passing it on, so even the kids hand the iPad over happily.

MADE FOR FAMILY GAME NIGHT • 3+ players, one iPad, zero setup • Easy prompts for kids, Medium and Hard for grown-ups • Draw with fingers or Apple Pencil (with pressure) • Brush, eraser, fill bucket, 12 colors, undo • Pick your pace: 60s, 90s, 2 minutes, or no timer at all • A pass-and-play flow that keeps the secret safe — only Player 1 ever sees the prompt until the grand reveal

NO ADS. NO ACCOUNTS. NO DATA. EVER. Free, with nothing to buy. No sign-ups, no tracking, no analytics — drawings never leave your iPad. Works completely offline: perfect for planes, cabins, and grandma's house.

THE REVEAL IS THE POINT At the end, everyone gathers round, the curtains open, and the chain plays back one drawing at a time — ending in a side-by-side gallery of the whole story. Expect arguing about whose fault it was. (It was Dad's.)

MADE BY A FAMILY We're Maddie and Nick. We dreamed this game up on vacation and built the first version so we could play it on the trip home. It stuck: weeks later our family still fights over the iPad — to hand it to each other. There's no company behind this, just a dad and a kid and a potato with a beret. It worked so well for our family that we wanted to share it with yours — free, nothing to buy, no catch. We hope your table laughs as much as ours does.
