Tip: Ctrl + Enter (⌘ + Enter on Mac) runs it, from the list or from the page.

How it works

  1. The actor spins the wheel while the guessers look away.
  2. Mime the word — no talking, no pointing at objects — before the time limit your group agreed on.
  3. Each word is removed after it's played; pick a category preset to make a round easier or harder.

What people use it for

  • Family game night

    The Animals preset is perfect for young kids who can't read the cards yet.

  • Classroom energizer

    Five minutes of Actions or Jobs charades gets everyone out of their seats.

  • Parties

    Split into two teams with the team picker, then take turns spinning for words.

Questions

How do you play charades?
One player acts out a word without speaking while their team guesses. Agree on a time limit, often one minute, and score a point for each correct guess.
Can I add movies or book titles?
Yes. Type your own titles, one per line, and the wheel uses them instead.
