How the Heck Do You Speedrun Pictionary?

Does the community have a known meta guide on the fastest and most stroke-efficient (heh) methods to draw each object?

And if some objects have faster optimal solutions than others, therefore making the run susceptible to the RNG of which objects the game makes you draw, what would be the ideal-run? Like "bench", "squiggle", "nail", "square", "ocean", "flag" or something lmao?

What I'm trying to say is I want a 45 minute theory-crafting/progression video on a 20 second speedrun made by a community member who turns out to be the record holder by the end, please and thank you.

I (the original video's creator) would also like something like this. There is this guide as well as a few others, but none exactly like the one you are describing.

I'm not really a fan of the video title, as there is a game actually titled "Pictionary" (NES) which people do speedrun. It's a very weird game with unexpectedly great music. It's very different than what you'd expect such a game to be.

Another pictionary-like game on the NES is Anticipation. At the top level, people get their guesses in before anything gets drawn based on the category, and initial coordinates of the pen.

YT video titles are tough, you mostly just want to make it something people will click on rather than something perfectly descriptive of the video, and far more people know what "pictionary" is rather than "Quick, Draw!"
