Bring everyone together with Charades, a fast and funny guessing game made for friends, families, parties, and game nights. Hold your phone on your forehead, follow your friends’ clues, and try to guess as many words as you can before the round ends. With 90+ decks, 4,000+ words and phrases, custom categories, reaction recording, and flexible game settings, every round can be different. HOW TO PLAY Choose a deck and place your phone on your forehead so everyone else can see the word.

PLAY YOUR WAY • Mix multiple decks into one game • Create your own custom categories • Record funny reactions while you play • Choose rounds from 30 seconds to 10 minutes • Turn the timer off for unlimited play • Play offline wherever you are • Enjoy the game without ads 90+ DECKS FOR EVERYONE There is always something new to guess. Play categories including Movies, Animals, Sports, Foods, Songs, Funny, Act It Out, Kids, Brands, Superheroes, Emotions, Countries, Professions, Technology, and many more.

MADE FOR EVERY MOMENT Charades is easy to start and works almost anywhere: • Parties with friends • Family gatherings • Game nights • Road trips and vacations • Holidays and celebrations • Classroom activities • Casual nights at home No complicated rules and no long setup.
