A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you pick up the pen.
Do I need to be good at drawing?
Not even a little. Simple shapes and a few recognizable details are enough to give the models something to work with.
What can I play for free?
Signed-in accounts receive three welcome Mystery Races, each with two models. This one-time allowance does not reset daily. Unused welcome races remain available. If optional rewarded ads are activated later, the exact bonus is shown before you choose to watch; no ad is required for the three included races. Replay challenges run no new AI inference. Availability remains subject to service capacity.
What is Arena Pro?
Arena Pro lets you build custom lineups of up to four available AI opponents. Each selected model shows its per-race credit cost before you start. See current credit packs and details; no purchase is required for the free Mystery Race allowance.
Is this an official AI benchmark?
No. These are casual races on individual drawings. Technical failures are recorded separately, and an unsolved drawing does not establish that a model is generally worse. Simulation results are always labeled.
Who can see my drawing?
Drawings are private unless you create an unlisted replay link. Anyone with that link can open the challenge; it is not a private invitation. You can revoke it. In live mode, the canvas is sent to the selected AI providers to generate guesses.
Local drafts in this tab

How this race works
Make any mark to start your 60-second clock. The unsolved AIs get the same canvas every five seconds while you keep drawing.
Use a mouse, touch, pen, or focus the canvas and draw with arrow keys and Space. Choose Done drawing to close the canvas and reveal the result. A technical issue is reported separately; it does not mean your drawing was wrong.
THE DRAWING BOARD
Make your first mark.512 × 512
Keyboard drawing: focus the canvas. Arrow keys move the cursor; Shift moves faster. Space toggles the pen. Escape lifts it. Tab leaves the canvas.
This race ended before all strokes were saved. Keep a separate local draft in this tab before playing again. The recorded result will not change.

How this provisional rating works
Starting rating 1000 · Elo scale 400 · K 24 · provisional before 30 rated races. Models are compared only inside the same original race. Correct beats unsolved; earlier correct arrival beats later; equal correct times draw; both unsolved is no contest. Technical failures are excluded rather than counted as losses.
Only retained, completed, original real-AI evidence with verifiable model identity is eligible. Simulation, replay attempts, incomplete rounds, malformed evidence, and ambiguous identities are excluded.
These casual-game ratings are provisional. They are not an official intelligence benchmark or a general claim that one model is superior.
SIMPLE RULES. HONEST RESULTS.
Same canvas. No peeking.
01
Keep drawing.
You have sixty seconds from your first stroke. The board never pauses for a guess. Each unsolved model gets an opportunity every five seconds, up to twelve attempts.
02
Keep it visual.
No words or letters. Models receive the current canvas plus only their own previous accepted guesses, never the target word, another model’s guesses, or unrelated conversation history.
03
Know the score.
The live race uses answer-arrival time. Observation times, skipped opportunities, and technical errors are stored separately. The last request can resolve for eight seconds after drawing ends.
04
Pass it on.
A completed race can become an unlisted replay challenge. The answer and model guesses stay hidden until the attempt ends. Replay challenges never run new model requests.
A game, not an official model leaderboard.
Simulation results never count as AI results. A correct guess is not independent proof that a drawing was valid. All-model failures and technical issues are retained rather than silently discarded.
Sign-in is required to draw or start a race. Three welcome Mystery Races are available after sign-in, subject to capacity. There is no daily reset or daily limit on prepaid custom races. Arena Pro custom lineups show the quoted credit cost for every selected model and the full lineup total before a race starts. Rewarded bonus races remain disabled until their separate approval and consent gates are satisfied.
