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.

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 was announced at the beginning of the show.)
