Pictionary Air is the companion app to the physical Pictionary Air pen. Using augmented reality, the app tracks your movements as you draw in the air, projecting your sketch onto your phone, tablet, or TV. Record your gameplay, track scores, and play with different modes like 'Selfie' or 'Classic' in this high-tech version of the beloved drawing game.

Our Expert Score

90/100

Pictionary Air is a revolutionary update to a classic party game, making the transition from paper to the digital screen feel like magic. By using augmented reality (AR), the app allows you to draw in the air and see your creations appear on your phone or TV screen. It turns the 'drawer' into a performer, as they can interact with their invisible drawings in hilarious ways.

The app's tracking is impressively smooth, provided you have decent lighting. The best part is the 'Record' feature—it captures the drawing process and the chaos of the room, allowing you to save and share the funniest moments. It’s the ultimate icebreaker and a must-have for any social gathering, successfully bringing a legacy board game into the modern era.

I got this game for Christmas and I think it is so cool
Mon Feb 17 2020 Cami#DisneyFan

I got this game for Christmas and I think it is really cool because you literally get to draw in the air! At first I thought it was magic lol but then I discovered all the technology behind it! That’s what made it really interesting for me! But I do have a suggestion that (personally) I think it would make it a whole lot easier for everyone (not just me): you should make it so that you don’t have to buy the cards, or pen. You should just have it so that the game would pick a random card for you, and then you draw it, let’s say, with a pencil from around the house. The game should be able to detect it, so it knows you are trying to draw something with it. I think that would help a lot of us because we all don’t want to buying some 20 dollar pen and all the cards just for an app. That’s why I think you should make the game make all that stuff “in-game) items. Like I said, feature the cards so that the game will pick them randomly for you, and make it so that you can draw with anything: a pencil, flashlight, pen, ruler. Anything would work just please consider my suggestion. Thank You.

I love the game

I think that the game is really fine when I play it it does have some glitches where when you’re done with a line it brings another line right up when you didn’t even write it but in general it’s really really fine and I wish that you could have some more updates on it like with a Harry Potter one it won’t let me have a well the light for the squiggly lines so I really hope you can make it where you can fix that.

Devise 2 should be the screen side

I believe we would love the game. The problem we have is in modern day America there’s still a company who jokes of high speed 10Mbps… I’m not paying them monthly for a sad joke. That said I have no valid internet options aside from mobile hotspots at this time. This creates my problem. Because you do not simply have a way to make the 1st device swap roles with the second device I am unable to have much fun with the family. As the first device draws, and the second guesses. The first device has to have the app, the second doesn’t. Are you following me? I’ve got 2 phones that can create a mobile hotspot, a tv, and a chrome cast. The chrome cast cannot connect with the phone that will be casting the mobile hotspot. This brings me down to 1 hotspot, 1 phone, 1 laptop (that can’t download or run your app on just a chrome browser so it also cannot be used in conjunction with the game), and a tv that also can’t download or run this app. So the final picture looks like this, I can play this game on 2 phones or not at all. This game would be best on a big tv screen or not at all as far as I’m concerned. My request is you please prioritize fixing this issue. Give me a weblink to kick off the game and link the app or create an option in the app to swap roles between device 1 or 2

Worst game of millennium
Sat Aug 31 2024 king of family fun

This is the worst game of all time we try to have a family fun night but it did not work the connection kept getting lost The app wouldn’t even load on the website and now all of my family is disappointed we all want to play Pictionary it is exactly 9:46 PM and we thought we were fancy with the PictionaryAir next time we’re just buying the ones with cards and not the air this company should be a race from planet earth and move to planet mars because it doesn’t even work we wasted about 50 minutes trying to connect it to a nice little TV and it did not work would not buy would not recommend would not buy again will never buy again do not suggest for family for fun it’s the worst buy the Jenga and then write rules on it that’s funner I would rather write on a real piece of paper then this waste of my money and time in valuable love

Lots of fun but missed opportunity for a real home run
Sun Jan 29 2023 acoustic_41

We got this game for Christmas and was a bunch of fun! However, there is some room for improvement that would make this game unbelievably awesome! The only real complaint that we had was that the drawing area was way too small. The team scores take up way too much space along with the +1 point/pause/eraser controls at the bottom of the screen. When my kiddos were drawing, their lines were often covered up by the controls on the screen. My recommendation move the scores to the corners of the screen and open up the drawing area to make the most of the available screen. Would definitely give a five star rating with these changes.

I love it!

This game is awesome, I 100% recommend it! Just there is some things I would fix: sometimes when we were “drawing” it was green, but nothing showed up on the screen. We had to turn the pen on, and off. Also, in my opinion, I think it’s WAY to complicated to cast it on the TV. I think they should make it more easier, but again, this is a really fun game since you don’t know what your drawings look like, and it’s funny! I totally recommend it! I like how it comes with a smaller box inside to store it, it saves space and it’s original. If the developer is reading this, I hope this helped you improve, and thank you for reading this. 😊

Fun, but needs more work

We played this with friends about 8 months ago and loved it, so bought our own. Played it tonight and it’s not the same as before. It might be the app has been updated since we played with friends. But when we mirror it, the scores and points/pause buttons are right in the way. They take up a lot of the drawing room space, so we had to put ourselves in awkward positions so we could see what we drew. The scores need to be very small and put to the sides or in the corners. Is there a way to do this that I’m missing? And also it Other than that it was fun.
