SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – The team that built
the Baby Gaga Facebook App has launched
Doodle Roulette, a drawing-based Facebook game that can be
played through user’s comment stream. Incorporating
concepts of Pictionary and roulette, Doodle Roulette challenges
players on both sides of the game with a variety of words options
and pop culture references.
Doodle Roulette’s witty tone sets the stage for compelling
and often humorous rounds, with word options like
“diddle,” users are encouraged to be imaginative with
their drawings. The roulette portion of the game offers many
options for users, such as drawing internal or external games,
guessing internal or external games, and winning coins or
stars.
“Doodle Roulette is a fun way for people to play games on
Facebook without actually having to be a ‘Facebook
gamer’. It redefines casual gameplay by simply letting you
type your guess as you would any other comment to your Facebook
friend, right there in the stream,” says
Nicolas Halper, co-founder of Doodle Roulette.
The three friends that built and maintain the Baby Gaga Facebook
App, started working on the idea June 2012 and launched the game at
the start of November. Doodle Roulette shares an office with Baby
Gaga in San Francisco. A smart phone application version of the
game is expected to be released in early 2013.
