Act it out. Our charades tools show a secret word only to the actor, start a countdown, and let the rest of the room guess. Categories include movies, animals, actions, objects, songs, famous people and a kids mode.
Add the scoreboard for tournaments, or let the Team Generator split a big group into rival acting troupes.
Which one to open: Charades is the all-rounder with themed decks (and Halloween and Christmas sets); Dumb Charades is the Indian film-title version with Hindi, Telugu and Tamil movies; Animal Charades keeps the prompts simple for small children; Movie Charades is film titles only, Hollywood and Bollywood; and Acting Challenge hands out silly one-person dares for a crowd that will not form teams.

❓Charades & Acting FAQ
Charades or dumb charades — what is the difference?
Dumb charades is the Indian party version: the prompts are film titles (Bollywood, Telugu, Tamil and Hollywood), you act out the title word by word with the classic hand signals for “film”, “number of words” and “small word”, and teams score points per correct guess. Charades uses mixed decks — animals, actions, objects, songs, famous people — and any acting style.
How does the secret prompt work?
Tap "Show word" to reveal the prompt only to the actor, then hide it and start the timer. The other players never see the screen.
How long should each turn be?
Sixty seconds is the classic, and it is the default. You can set 30, 60, 90 or 120 seconds per round.
Can we play charades with kids?
Yes — the Animals and Actions categories are perfect for young players.
