We have now launched a new system for players to evaluate their in-game experience with other players, and to address concerns relating to disruptive behaviour having a bad influence on the game experience. This update also includes a number of Content Moderation tools giving streamers more power to control game content shown on their stream.

Trust Score

This new score has been attributed to each player and can range from 1 (lowest) to a maximum of 5 (exceptional), with a default value of 3 (good). It will be calculated based on several factors including reports and praises by other players.

Praising players

If you want to highlight that a player was especially great to play with, for example, you can praise them in the ending screen of a completed game.

Reporting players

In the unfortunate case that a player behaves in a harmful or intentionally disruptive way, you can report them via the report button.

Public lobbies

To ensure players find a safe space in public lobbies, hosts can manually adjust the minimum required trust score for entering their lobbies. Said score can not be higher than the hosts score, and the score does not apply for private lobbies. When hosts select a minimum score of 1, any player can enter their lobbies, regardless of score.

Why are we doing this?

We want to ensure that players in Draw & Guess feel safe and welcome, and that everyone can focus on what the game is about: Drawing, Guessing, and having a good time. We believe the trust score is a good tool to help in that regard as it empowers players to decide themselves how they want to set up their public lobbies, and gives them a meaningful way to send feedback on others.

Content Moderation Tools

With this update we have added tools to moderate incoming chat, prompts, guesses and images. They all have their home on the new Safety tab in the general game settings, together with a handy guide explaining how they work.


In the new freely-positioned preview panel streamers can check each item submitted by other players before making them fully visible to their audience. That way streamers can more freely play in public lobbies without risking that other players disturb their stream with unfitting content.

did you know?

In addition to the trust score, players and hosts can use a range of other ways to moderate their lobbies and improve their game experience. Players can mute other players in lobby, in game modes and in lobby drawing. Muting does not affect a players ability to guess in the game, only their messages are not being forwarded. Hosts can kick players both in lobby and in game modes and can delete a rogue players drawings in lobby drawing.

Weve added answers to many frequently asked questions to the FAQ section in the discussion board.
