OUT NOW!
Frankensketch is a collaborative drawing game for iPhone and iPad. This style of drawing game has its origins in the surrealist art movement as a fun drawing practice known as “exquisite corpse” (which is kind of a weird name!).
But to me it’s a fun game I played with my kids when they were younger. You fold a piece of paper into 1/3rds and then you take turns, the first person draws the head and neck then you fold the paper to hide that drawing and then pass to the next person who draws the body from the bottom of the neck down to the waist. The final person then gets to draw the legs and feet, then when that’s done you unfold the paper to reveal whatever odd and amusing creation was the results!
So that’s the origins of Frankensketch, it is a fun game to play so I wanted to make the same game but playable on an iPhone or iPad.

How much does it cost?
Frankensketch is free to download so please try it out!
