Charades basics: act it out without words

How WUDD’s charades tool works: teams, categories, points by difficulty, Classic and Speed modes, and the silent-acting rules.

Teams, categories and points

Split into two or more teams and choose the categories you want to play from the list in the tool. Phrases are drawn only from the categories you pick.

Every phrase has a difficulty, and the difficulty sets its points: easy is worth 1 point, medium 2 points and hard 3 points. The team with the most points at the end wins.

Teams take turns. On each turn one player acts while their own team guesses; the other teams watch quietly and help keep the rules.
