Read full description

Idiot is the party game where you guess words you can't see: charades with your phone on your forehead. Hold your phone to your forehead with the screen facing out. Everyone else can see the word, but you can't. Your friends explain, you guess. Get it right and tilt the phone to score. Stuck? Tilt it the other way to skip to the next word. When time runs out, it's the next idiot's turn. HOW TO PLAY 1. Pick the pack where you'll look least like an idiot. 2. Hold the phone to your forehead so you can't see the word. 3. Everyone else gives hints and explains the word without saying it. 4. Tilt the phone to score or skip. When time is up, you see how many you got. 116 PACKS IN 17 CATEGORIES Animals, Food & Drink, Music, Movies, Series & TV, Famous People, Soccer, Sports, Geography & Travel, Jobs, Gaming, Fantasy & Heroes, Science & Space, Cars & Transport, Everyday Things, For the Kids, and Brands.
