Welcome to Pictoloom, a hilarious game of misinterpretation where players take turns drawing and guessing phrases! As the game progresses, the original phrase mutates based on each player's drawing and interpretation, leading to surprising and funny outcomes.

Our friends have always enjoyed playing telephone pictionary games together. It was always good memories creating chains of hilarious drawings with our own personal touches that sometimes became totally inaccurate. We saw this hackathon as the perfect opportunity to recreate this chill fun vibe with the reddit community, a place known to be creative and funny.

1. Daily Game Creation

   • A new game is created every day at 7 AM PST.
   • Each game consists of multiple phrases, players are evenly assigned random phrases.

2. Drawing Rounds (Three 5-Hour Rounds)

   For the first drawing round:

   • Players receive a phrase from the game's phrases
   • They must draw an image that represents the given phrase

   For all following rounds:

   • Players are given a reference drawing from a player in the previous round
   • They must recreate the meaning of the reference drawing in their own style
     
     
   • Each round lasts 5 hours
   • Players are given an unplayed phrase for each round to keep the phrases a secret.

3. Final Round: 24-Hour Guessing Round

   • Players are shown drawings from the final drawing round as reference.
   • They try to guess the initial phrase and are given a score for how similar it is to the original.
   • The final guessing phase lasts 24 hours.
