Crazy Charade
Read full descriptionHide full description
Crazy Charade is the offline mime party game that fits in your pocket. Pass the phone, act out the prompt, and let your team shout guesses before the timer runs out. No accounts. No ads. No internet required. And then there's Crazy mode — where every turn comes with a physical twist that makes mimes infinitely funnier. Mime "Inside Out" while standing on one foot. Mime "The Lion King" with no arms. Try Pictionary in fast-forward and watch your friends lose it. Built for living rooms, road trips, classrooms, and that 11pm moment when someone says "we should play a game." — TWO AUDIENCES — • Adult: 20 broad themes for the whole family — Movies, TV Shows, Music, Animals, Foods, Famous People, Sports, Hobbies, Books, Nature, Technology, Occupations, Historical Events, Countries & Cities, Household Objects, Action Verbs, Emotions, Cartoons, Video Games, Fairy Tales. • Kids: 10 kid-friendly themes — Disney Princesses, Kids Animation, Animals (Kids), Superheroes, Dinosaurs, Cartoon TV Shows, Video Game Characters, Musical Instruments, Space & Planets, Sports (Kids). — TWO MODES — • Classic: the charades you know and love. • Crazy: every turn adds a physical twist — stand on one foot, mime with no arms, slow-motion, eyes closed, fast-forward, robot mode, squat the whole time, or one hand only. Eight constraints, drawn at random, displayed on a between-turns wheel. — DIAL IT IN — • Teams: 2 or more, with custom names for every player. • Difficulty: Standard (the 100 most well-known prompts per category) or Advanced (the full 500-prompt pool). • Turn duration: 30 to 180 seconds. • Rounds: 1 to 10. • Skips per turn: 0 to 5 — bail on prompts you can't mime. • Hints: optional one-line hint to bail you out without spoiling. — BUILT FOR THE COUCH — • Universal: iPhone and iPad, portrait or landscape. • Haptic feedback on every action — and a heavy buzz with a neon-red flash for the last five seconds of each turn. • 100% offline. No login. No analytics. No data collection. • Works on airplanes, in basements, and at grandma's house with the iffy Wi-Fi. — 15,000+ PROMPTS — 30 categories × 500 entries each, all hand-curated. Standard difficulty keeps the prompts approachable; Advanced unlocks the long tail for people who've seen every Pixar film twice. Pull it out, pass it around, find out who can actually mime "Inside Out 2" with no arms.

Word Search ·'s advantage is chart position (#29 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.
