Charades
Some things are much funnier without words.

Choose a theme and reveal your first card.
Simple rules
- Choose a theme, difficulty and round length. Split into teams or play together.
- Keep the screen hidden from the guessers. Press “Start round” and act out the prompt without speaking.
- Tap “Got it” for a correct guess. Skip any card that does not work for your group. When time is up, pass the phone to the next player.
Agree on the rules before you start: no spoken sounds, no spelling words in the air and no pointing at the actual object in the room. Two people can take turns without keeping a competitive score. For teams, use equal round lengths; skipping a word does not subtract points. Hard cards include whole situations that are fun to act out one part at a time.

No. Open this page on a phone. Prompts and the timer are included, with nothing to install.
Will words repeat?
Each card in your selected deck appears once per cycle. Changing a filter or reloading the page starts a new deck.
Can I use my own words?
Open “Your own words”, enter one word or phrase per line and apply the list. It remains active until you reload the page.
