Players and devices
I (Matt Braun) built SketchParty TV for Apple TV, iPad, and iPhone: one person draws, everyone else guesses on the TV. This page covers the questions I hear most: device requirements, how gameplay works, custom word lists, minimum iOS and tvOS versions, and how to reach support. For the full walkthrough, see how to play Pictionary on TV. If you don't find what you're looking for here, the support page is the next stop.

To avoid word repeats in a single game session, your word list needs to be large enough to cover the total number of words that will be drawn. The formula is:
Number of players × words per turn × turns per player = minimum words needed
For example, with 6 players drawing 5 words each over 4 turns, you need at least 120 words in your list. With 8 players, that number goes up to 160. You can also reduce repeats by lowering the number of turns per player or words per turn in the game settings. If you're using a custom word list, make sure it meets or exceeds this minimum count.
Also, make sure you have the latest version of the app.
