Playing Doodle Dash

DoodleDash is a real-time Pictionary style game of guessing what your teammates are drawing. The game itself can be started directly from inside Slack, and is super easy to setup.

Starting a game of DoodleDash in Slack

To start a new game, type in "/doodledash" into the Slack channel that you want to start the game from.

Once you do this, a few settings will appear (like the number of rounds and time per round).

After you choose these settings, the message below will appear. Anyone who clicks "join the game" will then join into your room before the games starts.

From here, you will see a screen to choose your username, avatar, and background color – all of these are unique to the user joining the game. Once you join the room and there are at least two players - click the 'start game' button. Once the game starts, you will see a list of all the users and their avatars. One user will be selected at random to select a word and begin drawing. Each user will have the pre-configured number of seconds (during game setup) to guess what is being drawn. More points are awarded the faster you guess the right answer. At the end, a leaderboard/winner will be shown!
