ABOUT THE GAME

20 seconds per topic,
Draw 6 times in total.

"Quick, Draw!" is a drawing game published by Google Creative Lab. Each round consists of 6 rounds, with a 20 second time limit for each round. When you draw a line with your mouse or finger, the neural network suggests candidates by voice and text during the drawing process, and when it determines that the answer is correct, it moves on to the next question.

01

Read out candidates while drawing

Every time you add a line, the guess is updated and suggestions are displayed in a speech bubble at the bottom of the screen. The official description is that it is a game that uses machine learning, where a neural network predicts the content of the drawing.

02

Display the theme and 20 second timer on the same screen

The theme and remaining time are always displayed at the top of the drawing screen. Eraser, skip, and end operations are also grouped together in the same location, allowing you to input and switch each time on a single screen.

03

Drawing data is released for research

The official dataset organizes 50 million drawings provided by players into 345 categories. Lines are stored as vectors with coordinates and time, and are publicly available for researchers, developers, and artists under CC BY 4.0.
