Dirty Pictionary: Naughty Hen Party Game

Dirty Pictionary is the classic drawing game with a much naughtier word list. It is easy to set up, gets everyone involved and usually becomes funnier as the drawings get worse.

This version works for a hen party or bachelorette party when the group is comfortable with cheeky adult humour. You can keep it mildly rude, use the adults-only prompts or mix both levels together.

How to Play Dirty Pictionary

You only need a timer, drawing paper and a container for the word cards. Pens or markers should be available for every team.

1. Print the word list or write each prompt on a separate slip of paper.
2. Fold the slips so nobody can read them, then place them in a bowl or bag.
3. Split the group into two teams and choose the first person to draw.
4. Set a timer for 60 seconds. The player picks a word and draws it without speaking, writing letters or using numbers.
5. A correct guess earns one point. Continue until every guest has drawn or the word cards run out.
6. The team with the most points wins.

Make it work for your group: Give each player the option to return one prompt without explaining why. The game stays funny without putting anyone on the spot.

How to Turn It Into Dirty Telestrations

Dirty Telestrations uses the same kind of adult drawing prompts, but every player starts with a word. Each person draws their prompt and passes it to the next guest, who writes what they think the picture shows. The paper keeps moving between drawings and guesses until it returns to the person who started it.

There does not need to be a winner. The fun comes from comparing the original dirty word with the final guess.

Dirty Pictionary FAQs

What are some good dirty Pictionary words?

Good prompts are recognisable enough to draw but awkward enough to make everyone laugh. French kiss, handcuffs, lap dance and honeymoon suite are easy starting points. Save the adults-only words for a group that is comfortable with more explicit humour.

Can you play Dirty Pictionary at a bachelorette party?

Yes. The rules are the same for a bachelorette party or hen party. You can use the free generator on a phone or prepare printable cards before the celebration.

How many Pictionary words do you need?

Plan for at least one word per player. Prepare extra prompts in case someone wants to skip a word or the group decides to play another round.

What is the difference between Dirty Pictionary and Dirty Telestrations?

In Dirty Pictionary, teams race to guess a picture. Dirty Telestrations passes each drawing around the group and alternates between sketches and written guesses.

Can we play a cleaner version?

Absolutely. Use the bridal setting in our generator or choose the Bridal Pictionary version of the printable. This is a better fit when the guest list includes anyone who would not enjoy adult prompts.
