About Picture Brawl

Picture Brawl is a fast 1-on-1 game where you and an opponent race to name what's in a picture. It's built like a chess clock: each player has their own clock, and only the player whose turn it is loses time. Name the picture and your clock stops while your opponent's starts. The first clock to hit zero loses.

How to play

1. A picture appears. It could be a food, an animal, a landmark, a flag, a sport, an everyday object and more.
2. Type or say its name. Close spellings and common names count, so "fries" and "french fries" are both fine.
3. Right answer? Your clock stops and it's your opponent's turn with a new picture.
4. Stuck? Tap Pass. You lose 3 seconds and get the next picture.
5. Run out of time and you lose the duel. Duels usually take one to two minutes.

Game modes

• Ranked: play real people and climb from Bronze through Silver, Gold, Emerald, Diamond and Master to Legend. Before a ranked duel each player bans and picks categories, so both of you get something you know. Rating numbers are never shown, only your rank.
• Quick Play: a casual duel against real people in any category, with no rank on the line.
• Beat the Clock: solo. Name as many pictures as you can in 30, 60 or 90 seconds and beat your best.
• Vs Bot: seven friendly robots, from sleepy Pip to Apex, each playing like a rank. Beat one to unlock the next.
• 2 Players: pass one phone back and forth with a friend.
• Daily 10: the same ten pictures for everyone each day. Compare your score with friends.
• Train: practice the pictures you missed until you know them.

There are also Brain games (mental math, number patterns, Roman numerals, count the dots, telling the time, shapes, fractions, world capitals and word play) and six School subjects (Biology, Chemistry & Physics, Earth & Space, History, Geography, English & Words). New players can start on Basics, where you pick the answer from four choices.

Fair by design

• Nothing you can buy helps you win. Picture Brawl Plus only removes ads and adds cosmetic extras.
• Streaks, combos and bonus questions are for show: they never add time to your clock or change your rank.
• All pictures are family-friendly (PG). There are no celebrities and no brand logos.
• Friends and chat are filtered, and you can block or report anyone.

Seasons and rewards

Ranked play runs in seasons. Your best rank in a season earns that season's coin for your profile, and its rim lights up as you win more ranked duels. Founders who played in Season 1 keep a special badge.

Who makes it

Picture Brawl is an independent game made by a small team in California. It's free to play on the web at picturebrawl.com, with iPhone and Android apps on the way.
