Summary

Griffophone is an online multiplayer drawing and party game inspired by Gartic Phone, featuring its own identity with 50+ original game modes that constantly change the way you play. The core gameplay is simple: each player starts by writing a sentence. Another player draws it, then a third player tries to guess what the drawing represents by writing a new sentence. That new sentence is then drawn again, guessed again, and so on. At the end of the game, everyone watches the complete album unfold, revealing how the original idea transformed through each player's interpretation—often with hilarious and unexpected results. Beyond the classic experience, Griffophone offers a huge variety of unique game modes. Some change how you draw (Mirror, One Line, Earthquake, Slippery Brush, Pixel Art, Inverted Controls...), others add visual or color effects (Night Mode, Negative, Kaleidoscope, Black Hole, VHS, Disco...), while several completely reinvent the gameplay with modes such as Exquisite Corpse, Shared Canvas, Duel, Crazy Timer, Blurred Memory, and Free Draw. The game also includes private lobbies with invite codes, an integrated lobby chat, customizable avatars, saved albums, PDF and image export, player statistics, and even a solo mode that lets you try every game mode without waiting for other players. Developed entirely by a solo developer, Griffophone is actively updated with new features, game modes, and quality-of-life improvements based on community feedback. Whether you're playing with friends or discovering new creative challenges, Griffophone delivers a fresh and highly replayable party game experience.

Story

Welcome to Griffophone, a world where no idea stays the same for long. Everything begins with a single sentence, written inside a mysterious notebook. As it passes from one player to another, it changes: one player draws it, another interprets the drawing, then someone else redraws the new idea. With every step, the original concept drifts further away, often leading to hilarious and completely unexpected results. No one knows where these notebooks came from, but one thing is certain: they seem to have a mind of their own. They twist creativity, challenge imagination, and turn the simplest ideas into unforgettable stories. Every match tells a unique tale. Some notebooks stay surprisingly faithful to their starting point, while others spiral into complete chaos. That's the magic of Griffophone: you never know how a simple idea will evolve once it passes through different minds. The game's many modes represent the unpredictable nature of the Griffophone itself. Sometimes it flips your drawings, shakes the canvas, limits your colors, hides your work, or completely changes the rules. Players must adapt, improvise, and keep the chain of creativity alive despite these unexpected twists. There are no heroes or villains in Griffophone. The real goal is simple: laugh, create, and discover just how far an idea can travel when imagination takes over.
