OdDraw is a hub of short games that start in a browser tab. No download, no account, and nothing saved about you. It is being built now and is not playable yet.
The game it is named after is the interesting one. Everybody gets the same secret word to draw — except one player, who gets a different word and does not know it. That player has to draw something plausible enough to pass, while everyone else draws to prove they know the real word. Draw too vaguely and you look like the odd one out; draw too precisely and you hand the imposter the answer.
Around it sits a set of games that take under a minute to understand: trivia with friends, a race to type words fastest, guessing a hidden drawing, and the classics — Tic Tac Toe, Connect Four, Hangman, Rock Paper Scissors. Each one can be played solo against the computer, locally with someone on the same device, or against a stranger matched in seconds.
The hub will live on its own subdomain when it launches, because a game wants the whole viewport and a marketing page competing for attention does not help it.
What it will do
- Plays in the browser — nothing to install
- No signup and no account before the first game
- Solo against the computer, local with a friend, or matched online
- Short games, built to be understood in well under a minute
Who it is for
Someone with a few spare minutes and a browser, who wants to play something immediately rather than make an account first.
