How to Play Charades Online with Our Word Generator
Select one or more charades topics from the grid — General, Movies & TV, Animals, Christmas, Actions, Famous People, Food, Adult 18+, Sports or Places. Mix categories together for variety. The word count updates live so you always know how many cards are in your deck.
Set the timer (30s, 60s, 90s or 2 minutes), difficulty (All, Easy, Medium or Hard), number of rounds (3, 5, 7 or 10) and cards per round. Type in your team names — Team 1 and Team 2 are the defaults but you can personalise them.
Press Start Game and the first team goes. One person holds the phone and sees the charades prompt — they must act it out silently using gestures and charades actions only. No speaking, no pointing at objects in the room, no mouthing the word. Teammates shout guesses. This is also known as dumb charades — "dumb" simply means silent.
When your team guesses correctly, press Got It (+1 point). If the charades idea is too hard, Skip (no penalty) to move to the next card. Use Pass to end your turn early. The timer counts down — score as many points as possible before time runs out.
After the first team finishes their cards, the second team plays their turn with fresh charades ideas. At the end of each round a score summary shows how each team did. Rounds continue until all rounds are complete — then the team with the most total points wins!
After the final round the Game Over screen shows full scores and declares the winner. Hit Play Again to start a new game instantly with the same settings, or New Game to change charades topics and settings.
