How to play
Charades is the classic party game, minus the paper slips and the person stuck writing words. One player acts out a word without making a sound and everyone else tries to guess it. Here every player holds their own phone, only the actor sees the word, and the app works out who guessed first.
- The host creates a room and shares the code or QR, and everyone joins from their own phone.
- Each player taps Ready, then the host taps Start.
- Every round an actor is chosen, and the role rotates so everyone acts once before anyone acts twice. The word appears on the actor's phone only.
- The actor mimes with hands, face and body, no words and no sounds. Everyone else sees who is acting and gets a box to type a guess.
- Wrong guesses are free, so clear the box and try again. The first correct guess ends the round immediately.
- If someone shouts the word out loud, the actor taps They got it and picks that player. If the word is too hard, the actor taps Skip the word.
