Quick, Draw! is an online guessing game developed by the Google Creative Lab and Data Arts Team and published by Google LLC that challenges players to draw a picture of an object or concept, then uses a neural network-based artificial intelligence (AI) to guess what the drawings represent.[2][3][4] The AI learns from each drawing, improving its ability to guess correctly in future matches.[3] The game is similar to Pictionary, in the sense that the player has a limited amount of time to draw (20 seconds).[2] The concepts that it guesses can be simple, like “circle”, or more complicated, like “kangaroo “.[4]

Gameplay

In a match of Quick, Draw!, there are a total of six rounds. During each round, the player is given 20 seconds to draw a random prompt selected from the game’s database whilst the AI attempts to guess the drawing. A round ends either when the AI successfully guesses the drawing or time runs out.

At the end of a Quick, Draw! match, the player is given their drawings and results for each round. When clicking on a drawing, the player can view the AI’s comparisons of their drawing with other player-given drawings, before quitting, sharing to Facebook or X, or replaying.

Data applications

  • The Quick, Draw! dataset was used to train part of the app Spoken, which features a canvas that can recognize drawings and convert them to synthesized speech as a communication aid.
  • The technology used to recognize the doodles in Quick, Draw! are also used to recognize characters and languages by Google Translate. [2]
