Gartic Phone
February 10, 2021 | 6:00 pm to 8:00 pmWe're going to be playing Garticphone over on our Discord server which is SO much fun, so like.... unless you DON'T want to start the year off having fun, I don't see why you wouldn't come?
It's a simple drawing game where you start by giving a prompt. The next person has to draw that prompt, the next poor soul has to describe that drawing and so on.
Up to 30 people can play so the drawings can go WILD and it's a free browser game so anyone can join (:

Gartic Phone
February 24, 2021 | 6:30 pm to 8:00 pmCome join us for some light hearted drawing fun!
We're going to be playing Garticphone again this week! If you missed last weeks email, it's just a (free to play) simple drawing game. We had great craic playing it last time (hence while we're playing again and we have absolutely no other event ideas help). The event will be at 6:30 this Wednesday, the 24th of February. We'll be hosting it on our discord like always!
Here's one of the games we played last time!
