## What is Charades?

Kabuki is the new way to play Charades! Enjoy entertaining and often challenging words to act out with your friends and family. With over 3,000 words, your game night won’t ever suffer from boredom! Every party needs Kabuki – try the best Charades app out there now.

HOW TO PLAY KABUKI
In the beginning, create as many teams as you wish and decide on who’s in which. Then decide on a topic, set the in-app timer, and hit Play! The app then tells you which team’s turn it is. This team decides on an actor who is not allowed to talk during their performance. The rest of the team is guessing. The actor is allowed to pass on words if his team wasn’t able to guess the correct word after five seconds. After the timer hits 0:00, the team gets one point for every correct answer and hands the phone to the team that’s up next. The winner is the team with the most points!

CHOOSE FROM DIFFERENT CATEGORIES
Kabuki offers a lot of different categories to choose from in the app. Whether you like animals, parties, music, or movies – there’s something for everyone! Kabuki even features a section just for kids, so even the youngest can participate in this great party game!

### 3/5 — PLAY THIS AT UR OWN RISK

*2025-06-29*

Kabuki is one of the most worst apps I ever downloaded it is a rip off of a 2$ game called heads up. Heads up is way better it is not a competitive game my favorite one from Heads up is act it out anyways DO NOT DOWNLOAD

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2024-05-23*

Das spiel macht sehr viel Spaß zu spielen , man kann mit Freunden , Familie und mit Kindern spielen .Es ist das perfekte Spiel, aber was ein bisschen nervig ist , ist das man erst nach 5 sek auf weiter machen kann , sonst perfekt 👌

### 5/5 — Karen

### 2/5 — Räudig sein Vater!

*2024-01-27*

Schlecht umgesetzt, miese Wörter, drittklassiger Algorithmus, Familienabend gelaufen! Mama unglücklich…

### 4/5 — Overall great game, could use a few improvements though.

*2021-04-10*

This was a really good game for the most part. One improvement I would like to see is a longer timer. Currently, the timer can go up to 90 seconds, but I think it could be even better if it went up to 180 seconds or 3 minutes. My only other complaint is that some words are a bit difficult. Other than that though, this was really fun to play and keep up the good work.
