Sketch it
Draw it badly. Let them guess.
Sketch it is the drawing game for a video call: one person gets a word and draws it, everyone else types guesses, and the first right one scores for both. If you know Pictionary, skribbl or Sketcher, you know this.

A shared board
Draw with a finger or a mouse and everyone sees the lines appear. Clear it and start again as often as you like.
💬
Guess in the chat
Type what you think it is. Close spellings count, and the first right guess ends the turn.

Seventy-five seconds
Long enough to draw a lighthouse, short enough that nobody draws a good one. Everybody draws twice.

With faces
Video sits beside the board, so you see people laugh at your horse that looks like a table.
