Starting a game of Charades! is simple. Just determine who’s going first and have them tap the "Start Round" button. The app will randomly pick a word or phrase from the selected category and display it for the active player to see. But don’t let anyone else sneak a peek at the screen! The main display will then switch to a countdown timer based on the settings you chose so the active player knows how long they have to convey the word to their teammates.
Gameplay works just like traditional charades. The active player acts out the word without speaking, while teammates shout out guesses. The actor can use gestures, expressions, and body language, but no letters or numbers. If a teammate guesses correctly before the timer runs out, your team scores a point. Then it’s the next player’s turn.
If your team didn’t guess the word in time, you can reveal the answer and move on to the next player’s turn. This continues for a predetermined number of rounds based on the settings you selected. At the end of all rounds, the app displays both teams’ scores to declare an overall winner.
The builtin timer and scoring system makes playing Charades! really smooth. You don’t need any external timer or pen and paper to keep track. Just launch the app and enjoy the hilariously fun acting challenges!
