Paint your Friends Guides (August 2026)
Every guide for the coloring-by-number painting game — from your first plot to painting celebrities.
First look gameplay
First look gameplay: you claim a plot, load an avatar icon, and paint it color-by-number block-by-block alongside up to 7 other players in real time — paintings save automatically. The two guides below cover that loop from both sides: learning it, and choosing who to paint.
Two paths, one canvas
Learn the loop first, then learn the fun part. Each guide answers a different player question.
First look gameplay: what a session feels like
You join a server of up to 8 players, claim a plot, and an avatar icon becomes a numbered grid on your canvas. You fill blocks at your own pace while others paint beside you. Finished paintings save automatically and earn a badge. That summary comes from the game’s own description and recent player videos, checked 2026-08-03 — no inflated promises.
