At the beginning of each game the Question Master chooses a category (e.g. Animals) and a subject (e.g. cat).
The Fake Artist is choosen randomly each game, but only he himself knows that it is him. All players see the category but the subject is hidden from the Fake Artist.
Now, the players take turns and each artist draws one mark to create the masterpiece. The Fake Artist needs to guess what the subject is and the other players must be careful not to reveal the subject too quickly.
After two rounds the players vote for who they believe the Fake Artist is.
- No database, all game data is stored in memory.
