PlayMonster Pencil Nose drawing party game, Multi-Player family night set with clear board & nose rig

Pencil Nose is a fast-paced party board game where players strap a pencil to their nose, draw prompts on a clear screen, and have teammates guess before the timer runs out.

This laugh-out-loud family game from PlayMonster turns ordinary evenings into energetic group play by replacing hands with noses. Players take turns secretly viewing a prompt card, inserting it into the top of the transparent drawing board, then donning a novelty pencil-nose contraption and special glasses to sketch through the clear screen. Teams race to identify as many drawings as possible during each timed round; the first team to reach the target number of points wins.

How does Pencil Nose actually work during a round?

A player draws a card and slides it into the board so only they see the word or image. Wearing the included glasses and the pencil-nose attachment, they draw with the pencil using only head and nose movements while teammates shout guesses. Correct answers let the team draw another card—rounds continue until the sand timer runs out.

• Insert prompt cards into the slot on top of the clear drawing panel.
• Attach the pencil to the nose rig and put on the special goggles.
• One player sketches; teammates call out guesses as quickly as possible.
• Teams score points for each correct guess; first to the win total wins the game.

What’s included and how easy is setup for family game night?

The box contains the clear drawing board, prompt cards, a nose-mounted pencil holder, novelty glasses, a sand timer, scoring pads, and instructions. Setup is minimal—slide batteries or tools are not required—so groups can start playing in just a few minutes. Rules are straightforward, making it accessible for older children, teens, and adults.

Will this game entertain mixed-age groups and larger gatherings?

Pencil Nose is engineered for social play: teams of four or more can easily join, and the humor of nose-drawing appeals across generations. Because the prompts vary in difficulty, groups can tailor guessing expectations and play competitively or casually. It’s well suited for parties, family nights, classrooms, and icebreakers.

How does Pencil Nose encourage creativity and communication?

The unusual drawing method forces players to simplify shapes and rely on teammates’ interpretation skills. Quick guessing rewards clear, rapid sketches and helps groups practice concise verbal clues without direct hints. The result is a playful mix of art, deduction, and shared laughter that strengthens team dynamics.
