Quick, Draw! is an online guessing game developed and published by Google LLC that challenges players to draw a picture of an object or idea and then uses a neural network artificial intelligence to guess what the drawings represent.^[2][3][4] The AI learns from each drawing, improving its ability to guess correctly in the future.^[3] The game is similar to Pictionary in that the player only has a limited time to draw (20 seconds).^[2] The concepts that it guesses can be simple, like "water", or more complicated, like "camouflage".^[4]

Gameplay

In a game of Quick, Draw!, there are six rounds. During each round, the player is given 20 seconds to draw a random prompt selected from the game's database whilst the artificial intelligence attempts to guess the drawing, similar to a game of Pictionary. A round ends either when the artificial intelligence successfully guesses the drawing or the artificial intelligence doesn't guess in the drawing in time.^{[citation needed]}

At the end of a Quick, Draw! match, the player is given their drawings and results for each round. They can also view the artificial intelligence's comparisons of their work with other player-given drawings, before either quitting 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.
