What kind of game is Charades?
Charades has one player (the performer) check a prompt word on a big screen, then act it out using gestures and facial expressions only — no talking. Each word runs against a timer, and the performer marks correct/pass to tally the final score.
How is this different from Speed Quiz Prompt Words?
Speed Quiz is guessed through spoken description; Charades must be acted out in complete silence. The prompt words are curated for physical mimeability too — actions, animals, occupations, roles, sports, and emotions.
How many players do I need?
There's no player limit. Three or more is enough to have fun, and splitting into teams makes it more competitive. One player performs while everyone else guesses.
How do hints work?
Turn on 'Show hint' in setup before starting, and a small hint appears below each word — but only on the performer's own screen. The guessing team never sees it.
Where is my data stored?
