About the Game

The Joy of Sculpting is a 3D party game about creating, describing, and vandalizing each other's art. Sculpt whatever you can imagine, hand it off to your friends, and watch it slowly mutate into something gloriously unrecognizable. Can your masterpiece survive contact with the people you trust most?

SCULPT ANYTHING Build from a huge library of objects: body parts, animals, food, plants, and more. Blend and carve digital clay. Move, rotate, scale, and mirror every piece, then paint it with a full color wheel. Easy to learn. Nearly impossible to do well under pressure.

TELEPHONE GAME One player writes a prompt, another sculpts it, and a third describes what they think they're looking at. That description becomes the next prompt and so on, round after round. By the end, your noble dragon is an abstract blob with teeth, and watching the full chain unfold from first prompt to final disaster is the best part.

COPY CAT Study a sculpture. Burn it into your memory even if it hurts. Then recreate it from scratch against the clock while everyone does the same to yours. That poor cat will never be the same.

FRANKENSTEIN Drop the rivalry and build together. Multiple sculptors, shared creations, zero rules. Round for round you each add something to your monstrosity. Whatever you make, you all take the credit or the blame.

GALLERY Show off your finest work. Present saved sculptures from any mode and let everyone admire, question, or roast your creative decisions.

SINGLEPLAYER SANDBOX Fulfill all your secret sculpting desires in Singleplayer with no pressure. Your friends will never know!
