Three ways to play

Pick a game for the room

Classic Charades

One acts. One guesses!

One person holds the phone to their forehead and guesses. Everyone else acts out the answer silently, all at once.

Classic Charades in play: the answer 'Astronaut' with a 58-second timer and one correct

Take Over

A new actor every few seconds!

Actors line up. Every few seconds the phone calls “Switch!” and the next actor takes over the same answer, mid-scene.

A Take Over switch: 'Jordan's turn' over the same answer, 'Folding laundry'

Bad Actors Premium

One acts. One makes the sounds.

One person guesses while a duo performs. One partner acts silently; the other stands still and makes only nonverbal sounds. No words, no gestures.

How it works

Tilt to score

Down for correct. Up to skip. Return upright after each tilt.

  • Tilt downCorrect
  • Tilt upSkip

  • Phone on your forehead

    The guesser holds the phone sideways on their forehead, screen facing the other players.

  • Prefer buttons?

    Turn on on-screen Correct and Skip buttons in Settings whenever tilting isn't practical.

Do I need an account?

The Normal category in Classic Charades and Take Over. Everything else, including all of Bad Actors, is part of Premium.
