A calm, low-pressure drawing game built for groups
Artbitrator is a free online drawing game that works for day programmes, classrooms, care settings, support groups and any team that wants to create together. There is nothing to download, it runs in any web browser, and setting up is quick.
What makes it different from other online drawing games is the pace. There is no frantic timer and no pressure to be the fastest. Players get plenty of time to draw, an AI gently comments on the artwork as it takes shape, and everyone finishes the activity feeling like they took part.
Why facilitators choose Artbitrator
A relaxed pace, not a race
Most drawing games are built around speed and chaos. Artbitrator is the opposite. The default round gives a full hour, so players can stay focused and calm and work at their own speed. No one is rushed, and no one is left behind.
Take part without speaking
The AI looks at the drawing itself, so a player does not need to explain their picture out loud to join in and do well. For groups that include non-speaking members or anyone who finds verbal pressure difficult, this means everyone can participate on equal footing.
Simple, accessible tools
Pens, an eraser, colours and adjustable brush size are all easy to find and easy to use. There is nothing hidden behind menus and nothing complicated to learn.
Gentle, well-timed prompts
As people draw, the AI offers occasional friendly commentary on what it thinks is being drawn. Facilitators have told us these moments help re-focus attention when a player drifts, in a way that feels encouraging rather than corrective.
A finished piece to keep
Every session ends with real artwork that players have made themselves, which can be saved, shared or displayed.

What's coming for groups
We are actively building features for facilitators, shaped by the organisations already using Artbitrator with their groups:
One room, automatic breakout pairs
Bring your whole group into a single room and split them into pairs or small groups instantly, with no manual setup.
Adjustable session timer
Keep the relaxed one-hour default, or set any length that suits your group with a simple slider.
Facilitator controls
Set up and manage a session from one screen.
If you run sessions for a group and want to help shape these features, we would genuinely like to hear from you.
