Draw a Triangle From Memory

Three straight lines and three corners, on screen for a couple of seconds, then gone. You draw it back from memory onto an empty canvas, and your attempt is scored against the target and laid over it afterwards, so you can see exactly where it went.

It is the shape people are most confident about and least accurate at. Freehand, the base tilts - almost nobody draws it level - the apex drifts off the centre line, and the two sides come out at different lengths, so what felt like an even triangle reads as a lean. The edges bow slightly too: a hand drawing at speed curves where it means to go straight.

This is a practice round: played and scored for real, and it changes nothing in your game - no coins, no best score, no unlocks - so you can take it as often as you like, whether or not you have reached the triangle in the Shape Challenge.

Questions people ask

What happens after the shape disappears?: You draw on a blank canvas with no guide underneath, in one attempt. The outline comes back afterwards, laid over your drawing so you can see the difference.
How is my score worked out?: Shape match, coverage, smoothness and scale, combined into one score shown with a star rating and a tip. Shape match counts for the most, at 70%.
Can I play with other people?: Two ways. 2 Players passes one device back and forth, alternating who draws first each round. Multiplayer opens a live room for 2–8 players over 5, 10 or 15 rounds, joined with a six-character code.
How many shapes are there?: 276 shapes across 12 categories, from geometry and letters to animals, food and fantasy.
