Co-op Picture Shiritori — aim for a 100% chain
Draw pictures that form a shiritori (word chain) sequence. Customize game length, time limits, start/end letters, and more. After the game, all drawings are shown in order so you can confirm the chain. Try for a "100%" perfect chain together.
The owner sets round count, time limit, letter-count hints, and first/last letter rules. Rounds: 12/18/24. Time limit: 30s / 45s / none. Letter-count hint on shows how many letters the word has. First/last letter: hiragana / alphabet / none.
Turn order is random. On your turn, look at the previous drawing, guess what it shows, then draw a word starting with the last letter of that word. The first player draws based on the prompt. Tap "Done" when finished. With a time limit, drawing auto-ends when time's up. Writing letters/symbols is forbidden. While drawing, other players see it in real time and can send comments.
After drawing, the drawer types the title (what they drew). Once submitted, the next drawer's phase begins. Example: apple → elephant → tiger → racoon …
After the set number of rounds, the game ends. All drawings appear in chronological order. The owner judges each connection by tapping the "◯" between drawings to toggle it to "×." Accuracy is shown at the top; 100% earns a WIN badge.
Dokopa offers fine-grained rule customization.
These settings are a good place to start.
A fully cooperative game. After the game, the owner judges each connection — if accuracy is 100%, everyone wins
You don't need to draw well — clarity is what matters
Picking words easy to recognize keeps the chain going
Watch out: don't draw a word ending in "n" (Japanese rule)
Use the comment feature during drawing to liven things up — just don't comment hints
