Description

In Painter Detective, players take on the roles of witnesses and a detective trying to solve a mystery. One player is the detective, while the others are witnesses who get a brief glimpse of the criminal's face. They must then describe the face to the detective without using gestures, and the detective tries to draw a composite sketch based on their descriptions. The goal is to identify the criminal from a set of 48 suspect cards. This party game is all about memory, observation, and drawing, and it's easy to learn and play. With a playtime of 0 to 40 minutes, it's a great game for a quick gathering or a fun night with friends. The simple rules and fast-paced gameplay make it accessible to 3 to 7 players, and the unique blend of verbal descriptions and drawing makes for a hilarious and engaging experience.
