Quick, Draw! is an online guessing game developed and published by Google LLC that challenges players to draw a picture of an object or idea and then uses a neural network artificial intelligence to guess what the drawings represent.{{Cite web |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/quick-draw-google-doodling_us_58331234e4b099512f83caca |title=Let A Computer Guess What You're Drawing In This High-Tech Pictionary Game |last=Capewell |first=Jillian |publisher=Huffington Post |location=HuffingtonPost.com |date=21 November 2016 |access-date=21 November 2016}} The AI learns from each drawing, improving its ability to guess correctly in the future.{{Cite web |url=https://www.bustle.com/articles/196717-how-does-google-quick-draw-work-this-game-makes-learning-about-artificial-intelligence-fun |title=How Does Google "Quick, Draw!"

Gameplay
In a game of Quick, Draw!, there are six rounds. During each round, the player is given 20 seconds to draw a random prompt selected from the game's database whilst the artificial intelligence attempts to guess the drawing, similar to a game of Pictionary. A round ends either when the artificial intelligence successfully guesses the drawing or the artificial intelligence doesn't guess in the drawing in time.{{Citation needed|date=October 2022}}
At the end of a Quick, Draw! match, the player is given their drawings and results for each round. They can also view the artificial intelligence's comparisons of their work with other player-given drawings, before either quitting or replaying.
Data Applications
- The Quick, Draw! dataset was used to train part of the app Spoken, which features a canvas that can recognize drawings and convert them to synthesized speech as a communication aid.
