What's New in Charades

2.12.3

August 26, 2026

Now you can play Charades in Norwegian, Turkish, Hungarian, and Arabic, so more players can join in right away. Each supported language includes more decks, translated for wider choice, and expanded with additional cards so there are plenty of fresh prompts for every round. We also refreshed the experience with brand-new animations and updated gameplay that make every round feel more energetic and fun. Plus, we improved app speed for smoother performance, with faster turns from the moment you start through the final guess.

No way to tell which decks are free

Gameplay works fine and the video recording is a nice option. There are maybe 2-3 decks that you don’t have to subscribe to play but the developer doesn’t tell you which decks are free. So you have to go through them all manually and tap them, get prompted to subscribe for $9/week, exit out, go to the next deck, same thing. That’s frustrating when you’re at a party trying to play the game.

Also
$9/week is a ridiculous price.

Developer: don’t comment on my review suggesting I email you with more information. I’m saying right here. Mark the free decks clearly and show them at the beginning for non subscribers and I will increase the rating.
