Draw Something is a social drawing and guessing game. It is available for social networks and mobile devices and was developed by OMGPop.

The casual game was released on the 24th of Februari 2012 for iOS and Android devices. For iOS the game is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad and requires iOS 3.0 or later. On Google Play it requires Android 1.5 or later.

Gameplay
You choose your opponent randomly or you invite Facebook or e-mail friends.

Draw Something presents you with three words. You select one and draw it. For the easiest word you can earn one coin, for the moderately difficult word you can earn two coins and for the hardest word you can earn three coins.

Only when your drawing was successfully guessed, you will both earn coins. Later, your friend will see your drawing – including the entire creation process as you drew it, complete with any erasing – and try to guess what you drew.

The guessing is made a bit simpler by virtue of the fact that Draw Something provides both the length of the word to guess and 12 letters to pick from. Then your pal draws a picture for you. When it’s your turn again, you can see all actions of your friend. The game is collaborative, not competitive. Your goal is to keep the game going, to get the highest amount of turns and to get as much coins as possible.

Your colour options are limited when you first launch the app, you can exchange your earned coins for additional colour packs and bombs. You can also buy more coins on the Draw Something coin shop. When you are stumped by a difficult word, you can use a bomb to remove the

unneeded letters. You start with five bombs untill they are used up.

In the first month the game was downloaded 30 million times. After 50 days of release the game has reached the 50 million download mark.
