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, akin to a game of Pictionary. A round ends either when the artificial intelligence successfully guesses the drawing or the player runs out of time. At the end of a ''Quick, Draw!'' game, 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.
