🎭Charades

1. Add actors to the scoreboard. One pill per person, or one pill per team.
2. The active actor taps the card to see their prompt, keeps it hidden, and taps Start for the 60-second timer.
3. They act it out in silence. No talking, no mouthing words, no pointing at things in the room.
4. The second someone shouts the right answer, the actor taps Got it.
5. The Who scored this point row appears. Tap +1 for the guesser or their team. Tap Skip if the timer runs out with nothing.
6. Pass the phone to the next actor. Keep going until you crown a winner.

• The usual disaster: one loud person talking over the top while a quiet person's correct guess goes unheard. Say one voice at a time, and let the actor point at who they heard first.
• Be strict on the actor's silence. The first mouthed word ends that round with no point.
• Agree the gestures for syllables, sounds-like, and whole thing before round one so nobody burns fifteen seconds on setup.
• If an actor draws an impossible prompt, let them tap Skip once per turn for free. Better than a minute of flailing.
• Give a shy actor an easy start. Let them choose act or describe on their first turn only.

• A hard 60-second timer with a ring that turns red near the end. It carries the pressure for you.
• Got it and Skip hand the call to the room, then drop you straight into the scoring row so the leaderboard never drifts.
• The prompt deck is built to be acted, not described. Silence is the whole game.
• Team play is first class. Rename the pills to team names and the podium crowns the team.
