Charades
Act it out. No words allowed.
Play nowFree · No sign-up · A phone per player
Charades is the classic acting game on your phone: everyone joins a room on their own device, and players take turns acting out a word without speaking while the rest shout their guesses. Timer, automatic scoring, viral and country-themed decks, and word lists you create yourself. No download, no sign-up.
How it works
Create a room
Enter your name and share the 4-letter code with your group. Everyone joins on their own phone.
Pick a theme
The host picks the deck: viral, by country, classics... or a list your group wrote itself.
Act and score
On your turn, your phone shows you the word: act it out without speaking. Every correct guess before time runs out scores a point.

Frequently asked questions
How many players do you need?
Two minimum, and the more the better: with 4 to 8 players rounds fly by and the scoreboard gets spicy.
Do I need an account or an app?
No. It runs in the phone's browser with no account and nothing to download. The host creates a room and shares a 4-letter code.
How do I invite my friends to the room?
Three ways: say the 4-letter code out loud, copy the invite link; it opens with the code pre-filled, so they just type their name, or tap "Show QR" and let them point their camera at it. Everything lives on the room-code card inside the lobby.
How does scoring work?
Every word your group guesses while you act scores you a point. Skipping costs nothing. There is a podium at the end.
What are viral and country themes?
Word decks built for your group: internet trends and memes in the viral decks, and local food, customs and icons in each country deck.
Can I play with my own words?
Yes: create your list inside the game, one word per line, and pick it as the round’s theme. Your group’s inside jokes make the best charades.
Can we play remotely?
Charades is best in the same room, but it works over a video call too: the actor performs to the camera.
How long is a turn?
60 seconds by default. Everyone acts the same number of turns, so games stay fair and fast.
