About Civic Doodle

To start, two players draw at once, adding whatever they choose to a simple starter drawing. Other players and audience members can react with an onscreen emoji in real time as the drawings emerge. Doodle Valley’s Mayor (who you may recognize if you’re a longtime YOU DON’T KNOW JACK fan) gives out bonus points for whatever emoji strikes his fancy at the end of the match.

When the time’s up, everyone votes on which drawing is the “best.” The winner’s drawing becomes the new “base drawing” that the next two players add to, in the same fashion as the first round. After everyone has drawn twice, you get to see your finished masterpiece displayed in a place of honor in the town!  (Again, this seems like a really ill-advised decision made by the local government.)

In the final round, the Mayor commissions you and your fellow players to paint a portrait for the town hall. (Is someone trying to punish this poor town??) This culminates in a drawing free-for-all where everyone competes at once. Name your portrait something truly inspired, then admire the final result. The player who made the most popular additions wins!

If you really love your masterpiece, you can OWN it for real! Click the gallery button on your device at the end of the game. From there, you can select your work of art and turn it into your very own postcard or t-shirt! You can even bring up galleries from past games by clicking the gear icon on Jackbox.tv. You can leave Doodle Valley, but Doodle Valley will never leave you.
