About

"If you like Pictionary but hate cleaning up all those scraps of paper, SketchParty TV is the game for you." - Macworld SketchParty TV is the fun Pictionary-style drawing and guessing party game to play on your iPad and Apple TV! As seen in a WWDC keynote! A MUST-HAVE PARTY GAME You could buy an easel, a huge pad of paper, and some markers, then write down a really long list of words and make up some rules and try and keep track of points and get marker smudges all over your furniture. But who wants to do that? OR! You could play a fun drawing game using items you already have around the house, like your iPad, high-definition television, and Apple TV. Just enable AirPlay Mirroring, choose sides, and start a SketchParty. It's so simple! A TRULY SOCIAL GAME SketchParty TV is a team game like Pictionary or "Win, Lose or Draw", and up to 8 players per team can join in on the fun. That's a pretty big party! And it's fun for ages 8 and up. Gather up your family, call your friends, and play SketchParty today! GAMEPLAY REQUIREMENTS Note: SketchParty TV requires an AirPlay Mirroring-capable device and either SketchParty TV running on the 4th generation Apple TV or an Apple TV 2 or later to play. SketchParty TV can also be played using Apple's AV adapter or a Mac/PC app like Reflector. (See http://SketchPartyTV.com for device compatibility.) AS SEEN ON Engadget/TUAW and Mac|Format Magazine Editor's Choice app. As seen on ABC, Macworld, Fortune, Mashable, Techcrunch, Gotta Be Mobile, MacStories, iMore, Touch Arcade, 148Apps, The Loop, and more. WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING "SketchParty TV is an extremely fun app, built to entertain friends and family members for hours on end." - CNET "It's ingenious, executed to perfection and a huge amount of fun for groups." - Engadget "If you own an Apple TV, you need to own SketchParty TV." - GottaBeMobile "One of the best iOS party games." - iMore "SketchParty TV is a real gem." - MacStories "If you like Pictionary but hate cleaning up all those scraps of paper, SketchParty TV is the game for you." - Macworld "There are some games, like SketchParty TV, that really sing on the Apple TV." - Mashable "SketchParty TV really shines. Huge family fun." - Sixcolors "SketchParty TV is a great way to get the whole family involved together in a fun game." - TWiT ----------------------------------------------------------- Be sure to check out Waypoint EDU for AR scavenger hunts.

Very fun group game.

Tried this for the first time this week with the family… It was an absolute hoot to see our terrible drawings up on the TV and pass around the iPad trying to help our team guess what we are drawing. Was very interactive with the kids and really all ages. The connection between the iPad and the Apple TV app was seamless and solid, no issues. Highly recommend. We used an iPad with an Apple Pencil in our situation and it worked awesome.

More words!

Love this game. Played for years now. It’s just frustrating the word list is so small and repeats quickly. I would pay for different list of words. Monetize it. Make a way for us to load banks of words. Make games of different varieties of words. More words!

Love this app

Love this app. It is so much fun. Love playing with the family! I really love the fact that you can add your own words - it has allowed us to include words that the little ones can read on their own and has made the experience so much fun.

The greatest digital Pictionary experience period!

So much fun to play in teams on the appletv. This game is so perfect I only wish that they would update it with new words. Please make a version that can be played online with a group. I would pay any amount to be able to do this with my family remotely.

Fun time with the family

The family enjoys playing the game, especially the grandkids at family get-togethers. We’re always in for a laugh with some of the drawings. Even though you can add words, it would be nice if a new group of words were added with an update or paid add on word packs. It might be worth the fifth star.

Great game but loses connection on iPad app switch

Great game but incredibly frustrating in that if anyone in your party hits the power button on the iPad or accidentally swipes causing an app switch the game will be lost. Even with careful management of the iPad it’s hard to not lose a game. We love this but it’s way too frustrating. Just lost a game with 14 ppl half way through.

Frustrating tech issues

We bought the app. Half way through the first game, everything froze. We tried restarting the app. 5 minutes into the next game it froze again. We could never finish a game.

Haven’t played in a while. But now it crashes constantly. Loops within a single tram. Total mess. So disappointing. Just deleted.

So happy I rediscovered this

Used to play this a lot with friends back in the iPad 2/3 days. Eventually stopped using those iPads and forgot about it. I recently purchased a new iPad Pro 12.9” after years of not using an iPad. The other day, I decided to check out what I had on my iPad 3, and I found this game! Immediately went to download it on my new iPad. Looks like it works with Apple TV natively now (instead of AirPlay). It also works with Apple Pencil, which is a huge plus. Can’t wait to play this again and relive some memories! The only thing I’d suggest is to add more mature word lists. Other than that everything is great!

Great idea, words need work

This is the closest game to Pictionary I have found for iPad. Using it with screen mirroring makes for a great family game night. My only complaint is with the words and categories. The standard words are sometime so abstract and weird that they are impossible to draw (e,g, “extra sensory perception” or “charity event”) but the kid words are far too easy. Overall a great game.

My family and I love this game. It’s a regular thing for us to play. We play so much we know most of the words so please update more words in the kids section.

Poor Touch Accuracy

Update!! I heard from the developers and they worked on a fix! Since the last update early July 2018, this has been a blast to play on my SE and the whole family has loved it. Thanks! old version review-Since the touch on the screen does not correspond with the resulting line being drawn, it is beyond maddening. The most fun you’ll have is when you give up and just starting laughing at the app for failing so much.

Great game!

I have been playing this game over a year without a single crash, delay or hiccup. None of my friends are super artistic and those slightly inclined this game levels the playing field enough to be fun for everyone! Some people have connection issues or out of sync(delayed). I don’t know how theirs is setup or maybe using an old router.

Please make an option in the app to make it say the word out loud when a word is correctly guessed. I use this to teach English for ESL students.

Doesn’t draw where you want it to

Could have been fun, but, until the interface works this is $4.99 wasted.

worth every penny

sketchparty has entertained countless party guests with it’s easy to use, high resolution screen app. the larger the device, the better, but the instant mirroring to the apple tv has made it worth every penny.

Connectivity issues

No matter if you are doing tv mode or through airplay this is littered with connectivity issues. Don’t waste your money on a game that works for a partial amount of time. I am running and iPad Pro and an Apple TV 4K yet somehow it cannot stay synced. I have a strong reliable network powered by an Asus AC 3100. Apple TV has direct connection with network, still unable to maintain a good connection. App is not worthy of the 5 star reviews that it has.

NYE fun

Downloaded this game and had a blast with 6 friends. We did two teams first then at the end, passed the iPad around and one person would draw and all others guessed. That was a blast.

Just right

This app gets everything right. But what would make it crazy-awesomer is if they moved the five dots of progress to somewhere else that doesn't block our view of drawings. C'mon. Poor design right there.

Needs some work

At first I was ok with paying the $4.99 for the app because it looked like fun. However, after purchasing it and downloading it on all of my families devices, I found out that we cannot each use our own device. It is a pass and play game so we have to use just one device. It would be so much easier if we could all use our own phones instead of having to pass them around the room the whole time. Also, there are some other bugs that need worked out. The color chooser won't slide over right, and there is too much in the middle of the screen that blocks the view of what is being drawn. Fix these, and I'd be willing to give it a higher rating.

Awesome family fun!

We needed something to do on a hot Saturday night and couldn't decide. I remembered this game and thought it was worth $6 to give it a try. We had a total blast! Drawing on the iPad Pro and watching on the 4th Gen Apple TV is genius, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Highly recommended for family fun or party game!!

Old Apple TV? Buy a new one if you want to play

AirPlay works elsewhere, but with this app my screen goes black, unplayable black. Looking for an inexistent display app. Developer's advice? Buy the app and a new Apple TV to run it. I think not! Back to pen and paper - they don't need a hardware upgrade to work!

Fun for the whole family!

Great game, my kids really love it. Best feature is the availability of a "kids mode" for limiting the words to those that are easier to draw. This mode is available either through the paid app or via in-app purchases with the free version. Well worth it for the younger players. Also kudos to the developer for lightning quick replies to my basic questions. Don't think twice, go buy it today!!

Tons of Fun!

Our friends came over the other night, and we loaded up Sketchparty on my Apple TV and used the iPad with Apple Pencil to draw. We had so much fun, making fun of each others' drawings and guessing. This is one of the best synergies of iPad and AppleTV, and I can't wait to have friends over again to play.
