82/100

Gartic.io is the ultimate digital version of 'Pictionary' for the modern age. It takes a simple concept—draw a word and let others guess—and turns it into a global social hub. The brilliance of Gartic is its accessibility; you can jump into a public room with strangers or create a private one for up to 50 friends. It’s the perfect party game because it scales so well and works on almost any device.

While the occasional lag or loading issue can be a minor annoyance during peak hours, the actual gameplay loop is incredibly satisfying. Watching someone struggle to draw 'Renaissance' or seeing a master artist create a masterpiece in 30 seconds is equally entertaining. The wide range of themes—from Animals to Movies—ensures that the prompts never feel repetitive. It’s a chaotic, creative, and often hilarious experience that has rightfully become a staple for streamers and friend groups alike.

Lag and loading
Mon Sep 08 2025 Nonyaaaaaaaa

This game is really fun, but there is one problem that almost all the players have been facing. Loading. When you open the app it takes about 3 minutes just to pop up the front page, and when you click on the rooms button you must wait at least 3 more minutes for the rooms to pop up same with joining a room. Gartic, please fix this bug so the game can be faster! Thank you, have a wonderful morning/afternoon/or night. Edit-9/8/25: Game is experiencing severe lag and loading time when entering the game is about 10+ minutes please fix this issue.

One of the best drawing guessing games

I have been looking for this particular type of game for a while now. No other game is quite like it. I love playing with people and trying to guess their drawings. There is only 1 ad video after you’ve played a long game. No crazy pop up ads.

Nice Game but the chat…

The game is great the thing is, the people are very inappropriate. I think honestly the only thing that makes this game bad is the fact people can say whatever they want in the chat with no filters, not a safe game for kids at all with all these immature people making inappropriate jokes or saying rude things to others. If you are a parent I recommend not letting your kids play this. If you do please take caution of the chat because there is a lot of creeps and sickos and they say awful terrible things. I can’t even imagine a poor baby reading the things these people say it’s terrible.

Hoping for a different app.

I love watching Gartic Phone videos and was hoping that this was a close mobile version, I was wrong. This is completely different and not even close to the PC game. I wish there was a good mobile version for that but there isn’t. For a app by itself it’s a pretty toxic app. I got harassed by people for being a lesbian furry and Therian. The art part of the game is not very good for actually drawing and you have to press a button to open a thing where you have to find the undo button and even then you can only undo twice in a row.

Fun but needs a few fixes NOT 4 KIDS

It’s actually a genuinely fun game that CAN be wholesome. But beware PARENTS, this game is not for children because the chat lets you say whatever you want, unless they can’t read and you just help them draw or something I would recommend a different game. Also, you should be able to friend people in the game, and when nobody guesses the drawing it should tell you what it was.

I like this game but…

Please read this before scrolling, me and my friend were playing this game and we saw the options for crazy themes so we decided to play it, but as soon as we joined it asked us to draw racist and offensive things and I don’t think that’s what the game put as options but I’m still confused on how it happened so if somebody can please respond that would be great!

Good

It’s fine but i have a new mod to it You can actually friend ppl and text them When the owner is playing they should be able to ban/kick the selected person from joining You can look at anyone you have played with and be able to friend them It should say [name] found it! Instead of hit Bc I have seen some servers say “hit what? Hit my pu- u know

Love the app. So much fun. Reports need to be handled faster.

The app is honestly one of the most fun I’ve used in quite a while. There needs to be something in place to censor certain users, however; it is not a truly safe space until specific words are banned and kick out the user from the room.
