How to Play

Iconoscope is all about creating ambiguous icons that represent multiple concepts. The goal of these icons is to confuse other players.

Here is a step-by-step playthrough:

1. Open Iconoscope in your browser or on your android tablet.
2. In a post-it, pick a word among the three to represent as an icon.
3. Draw an icon in the drawing board:
   • Add shapes using the stencils at the bottom left of the screen.
   • Move, rotate and scale the shapes with the mouse (rotating and scaling can be done by dragging the corners of the box).
   • Color the shapes with the palette at the top right.
   • Assistants are there to give you new icon suggestions. Click on an assistant's portrait on the top of the screen.
   • When you're done, press the button on the bottom right. You have 5 minutes to make your icon!
4. You can see and vote for other player's icons here.
5. Check out which icon is in the lead in the Leaderboard.
