It's Sketch UI Redesign
  • 22 June 2026

A list of UI/UX changes made to the app for easier use.

Player app (phone)

  • Reworked the drawing screen to maximize the canvas area.
  • Moved the color picker and brush-size selector into tap-up menus opened from toolbar icons.
  • Reduced Undo and Clear to icon buttons; simplified the Submit button.
  • Collapsed the multi-row tool palette into a single compact toolbar.

Host console

  • Full UI redesign (new layout and styling).
  • All existing controls and functionality preserved (prompts, AI prompt builder, prompt packs, save/load prompt sets, theme generator, ads/promos, music and AI host-voice settings, game flow controls, player list).
  • Added sound-effect feedback with a mute toggle (setting is remembered).
  • Added a "Copy join link" button.
  • QR code and access code now stay visible at all times, plus a larger join area in the lobby.
  • Player chips animate in as people join, with a join sound.
  • Responsive/mobile layout fixes (settings panel slide-in; opaque panel background on mobile).
  • Fixed the Remove/Restore button overflowing its card on player drawings.
  • Background now falls back to the built-in backdrop when no theme image is set.

TV display (HUD)

  • Rebuilt the entire HUD as a custom canvas renderer with all-new visuals (no longer the generic scene renderer).
  • New animated screens: lobby, get-ready, drawing, guessing, vote/answer reveal, round score, ad, and final score.
  • Added sound effects, floating emoji reactions, and a confetti finale.
  • Added legibility treatment so text stays readable over any background (text outlines, top/bottom overlays, and panels behind content).
  • Widened the vote/answer boxes (~2x) and raised them so they clear the QR code.
  • Answer (round score) screen:
    • Animated count-up tallies for how many players got it right vs. got bluffed.
    • "Top bluff" callout for the player whose fake answer fooled the most people.
    • Animated leaderboard: players start at their previous scores, show +/- point popups, then slide into their new positions as scores count up.
  • Final score screen: winner banner plus the top standings.
  • Large-group handling: lobby, round score, and final score now show a capped number of players plus a "+N more" summary, so the display stays readable from a handful of players up to 100+.
  • Long names are truncated/fit so they don't overflow.

Behind the scenes (engine)

  • New event contract between the engine and the HUD (the engine now tells the HUD which screen to show plus the data, rather than sending a full scene layout).
  • Score data sends counts, the top bluffer, each player's previous score (for the leaderboard animation), and a capped leaderboard with the true total player count.
  • Final-score and lobby data are likewise capped to a top set plus the true total.
  • Fixed a reaction event that previously didn't reach the HUD.
  • Music volume changes now update the HUD live without restarting the current screen.
