🏆 Pro Tips to Win at Charades
Whether you're a first-time player or a charades veteran, these tips will help you act better, guess faster, and have more fun.
Start With the Category
Before acting, hold up fingers to show the number of words. Point to your wrist for "sounds like." This speeds up guessing.
Use Your Whole Body
Don't just use your hands. Your face, posture, and even the way you walk can communicate emotion and meaning clearly.
Act Word by Word
For multi-word phrases, show finger count per word, then act each word one at a time. Team learns to follow this rhythm fast.
Keep Energy High
Enthusiasm is contagious. Even if your clue isn't perfect, confident acting pushes your team toward the right guess.
Use "Sounds Like" Signals
Cup your hand behind your ear to signal "sounds like," then act out a rhyming or similar word. Very powerful for hard words.
Set a Time Limit
Use 30–60 seconds per turn. Time pressure makes the game more exciting. Use your phone timer or a countdown app.
How to Play Charades – Complete Guide
Charades has been played for over 200 years and remains one of the most popular party games in the world. The rules are simple but the game creates endless laughter and memorable moments. Here is a complete guide for new and experienced players.
1. Divide into two teams
Split your group into two equal teams. Each team takes turns sending one actor to the front while the rest guess.
2. Generate your charade
Use this tool to generate a random charade prompt. The actor reads the word silently — teammates must not see it.
3. Show the category signal
Use classic hand signals: fingers for word count, point to your ear for "sounds like," make a book shape for "book," or a film reel spin for "movie."
4. Act without speaking or mouthing words
The actor uses only body language, gestures, and expressions. No sounds, no lip movements, no writing in the air.
5. Set a 30-second timer
One round = 30 seconds. If the team guesses correctly within time, they get a point. If not, the other team can attempt.
6. Rotate and repeat
Take turns clockwise. Each player gets to act at least once. Play as many rounds as you like — click Generate for unlimited prompts.
7. Use Full Screen mode
Click Full Screen so the actor can hold up the phone and the word is visible only to them before they flip it away from the screen.
