Production
In December 2021,
In January 2023, it was announced that the show along with 5 other shows were renewed for the 2023-24 television season by Fox First Run which premiered on September 11, 2023.[5]
Gameplay
With the other two Pictionary game shows, they mostly kept the same rules and gameplay, but in this version, they made their own rules.[3]
Quick Draw
The show starts with a quick draw for 100 points. A video is shown of someone drawing an item. Contestants have to buzz in when they know the answer.
Sketch or Steal
Teams alternate with each other drawing images of answers. One member draws while their two teammates must give the correct answer in 15 seconds for 100 points. If they don't, the other team gets a chance to steal the points. This goes for two rounds and in the second round, answers are worth 200 points.
Choose Your Words
During the commercial break, each team chooses three words for their opponents to draw; their goal is to choose words that will trip the other team up. Each team gets 60 seconds to draw all three words, and each word is worth 1,000 points. Words are allowed to be passed, and will be drawn again if time allows.
Whichever team with the highest score advances to the bonus round. In case of a tie, a sudden death word will be drawn, and whichever team guesses it correctly advances.
Final Sketch
The winning team chooses a player from their team to draw. They are given five classic Pictionary words or phrases; they will pick and draw any three of these five to draw in 45 seconds. The first two are worth $1,000 a piece and if the team gets 3 correct answers in 30 seconds, they win $2,000 and a trip. (The destination is announced at the beginning of the show.)
Reception
Common Sense Media reviewer Stephanie Morgan gave the show 2 out of 5 stars, calling it a bland game show and comparing it unfavorably to Hollywood Game Night and ending her review saying "Considering there's a whole host of better celebrity game show options out there, this is one to skip."[6]
