Charades: Guess Word On Heads is a quintessential party game that successfully digitizes the classic 'Heads Up' experience. The variety of decks is the main draw here; whether you’re into 90s pop culture, animal trivia, or obscure movie quotes, there’s a category that fits your group. As a social gaming critic, I find the recording feature particularly brilliant—it captures the frantic gestures of your friends, providing hilarious replay value long after the game ends.
The interface is intuitive: tilt up to pass, tilt down when you get it right. It’s a seamless loop that keeps the energy high. While some of the more niche decks are locked behind paywalls, the core experience is generous and serves as the perfect icebreaker for any gathering. It’s proof that sometimes, the best mobile games are the ones that encourage you to look away from your phone and interact with the people in front of you.
Over 50 themed categories

Custom deck creation
Choose a deck and press start. Place the phone on your forehead facing your friends. They will see the word and must give you clues without saying the word itself.
The game uses your phone's gyroscope. Tilt the screen toward the floor to mark a word as 'Correct' and tilt it toward the ceiling to 'Pass' and skip to the next word.
Yes, once the decks are downloaded, you can play anywhere without an internet connection.
Simple to play, hilarious. I have played with as few as 2 players and as many as 8. Always a good time.
Love it!
Just terrible. Doesn't work. Don't bother
