Pictionary Air is a revolutionary update to a classic party game, making the transition from paper to the digital screen feel like magic. By using augmented reality (AR), the app allows you to draw in the air and see your creations appear on your phone or TV screen. It turns the 'drawer' into a performer, as they can interact with their invisible drawings in hilarious ways.
The app's tracking is impressively smooth, provided you have decent lighting. The best part is the 'Record' feature—it captures the drawing process and the chaos of the room, allowing you to save and share the funniest moments. It’s the ultimate icebreaker and a must-have for any social gathering, successfully bringing a legacy board game into the modern era.

Pictionary Air is the companion app to the physical Pictionary Air pen. Using augmented reality, the app tracks your movements as you draw in the air, projecting your sketch onto your phone, tablet, or TV. Record your gameplay, track scores, and play with different modes like 'Selfie' or 'Classic' in this high-tech version of the beloved drawing game.

Ensure you are standing in a well-lit area but away from direct bright lights. The app tracks the light on the tip of the pen, so a dark background works best.
