Expect a loud sound, vibration and screen flashes when someone gets caught. If you are sensitive to light or loud noise, mute the sound or pick another game.

About this game

Draw the Joker feels like pulling cards from a hand. Your card flips over in the middle of the screen to reveal itself. A regular card is safe, but a joker sends a giant jester face bursting across the screen.

How to play

  1. Enter 2 to 12 players.
  2. The person named on screen taps a card in the fan.
  3. Wait for it to flip. This is the most nerve-racking moment.
  4. If it's the joker, that person is it.

How it differs from Card Flip

In Card Flip, you pick from a grid and every opened card stays visible. Here, drawn cards leave and the fan visibly thins out, so you can feel the danger closing in. It also uses fewer cards: the number of players plus three, with a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 14.

A note before you play

The jester face appears suddenly with laughter, vibration and flashes. If anyone startles easily, or children are playing, we suggest starting with the sound off.

Is it fair?

The joker's position is chosen at random at the start, and the turn order is shuffled as well. Every spot in the fan has the same odds.

Frequently asked questions

How many jokers are there?

Always exactly one.

Can I play without sound?

Yes. Use the speaker button at the top. Only the laugh goes away, and the visuals stay the same.

Does vibration work on every phone?

Only where the browser supports it. Safari on iPhone does not support vibration for websites.
