Race RoomWhat is a Pictionary Spoiler Log Race?
Each team consists of one Runner and one Spoiler Log Pilot who is drawing. The pilot has to figure out a way through the seed and how to tell their runner in drawing what checks they need to do. Hints are obviously disabled.
Before the race we will provide a room on aggie.io to each team. The canvas will be set to 660×460 for restream purposes.
At the ±0 minute mark: The pilot is now allowed to look at the spoiler log and can start figuring out the route.
At the +15 minute mark: The pilot is allowed to start drawing and the runner is allowed to start the file.
Rules
The race uses the Standard ruleset.
The pilot is allowed to communicate to their partner only via drawing and may watch and hear the stream of the runner. Runners may talk to their pilot. We would prefer if the pilot did not directly respond to questions, as figuring things out is supposed to be part of the challenge, but in the end it's up to the individual teams.
Allowed: Arrows, question marks, ingame symbols, check marks, “X” for crossing out stuff.
Not allowed: Any kind of numbers or letters.
Examples
For having a better idea what we mean in regards with the rules / communication, here are some examples:
- The pilot draws 3 spiders and a bow. The runner then asks if there is a bow on 30 skulls. The pilot then draws a smiley or a checkmark for confirmation or a sad face for “no” — that is allowed.
- The runner just asks without a drawing if it's AD or if a specific check is required — that is not allowed.
- The team has prepared a language for specific checks to avoid the requirement to draw the check (like morse code etc.) — that is not allowed.
- The runner says “if I need to do the toilet check, draw a heart” — that is not allowed.
- The runner says: “since you didn't draw anything in the Lost Woods, I'm gonna skip all the checks there and go immediately to the Sacred Forest Meadow” — that is allowed.

Note: These sample seeds were posted on February 11, replacing the original batch which had a bug where the spoiler log would show the wrong prices for most right-side shop items. Special thanks to ShadowShine57 who found the fix for that bug.
