What is Movie Charades?
Dumb charades, movie edition. The actor gets a secret film title — anything from Jaws to Frozen to Bahubali — and 60 seconds to act it out with no words. Titles mix Hollywood classics, animated favourites and Bollywood hits so every generation can play.
The classic Indian party game finally has a referee: no more arguing about whether "Sholay" counts as one word.

Dumb charades rules and hand signals
One player acts, their team guesses, and not a single word or lip movement is allowed. The universal signals: show fingers for the word count, then act word by word; tug your ear for “sounds like”; pinch finger and thumb for a small linking word; draw a film-reel circle to restart the whole title. Standard round is 60–90 seconds on the timer above — a correct guess scores the team a point.
Dumb charades for office parties
The office favourite because it needs nothing and embarrasses no one. Split by department, use the easy mode for mixed crowds, and put this page on the meeting-room screen so the timer and scores are visible. More: Office Party Games.
