How to play

You can learn the rules in a couple of minutes. Just 4 steps and you're ready for your first game.

01

Word

The actor gets a secret word from the game to show without words or sounds.

02

Mime

Explain with gestures and facial expressions only: talking, whispering, and pointing at objects are not allowed.

03

Guessing

The team shouts out guesses one after another until someone names the right word — the clock is ticking.

04

Points and switch

A correct guess scores a point for the team, then the next player acts. Whoever has the most points wins.

About the game

Charades is a loud party game in which one person explains a hidden word using only gestures, facial expressions, and movement. Talking, mouthing words, and pointing at objects are off-limits — it's pure mime. The team shouts out guesses while a timer ticks down. The more abstract the word, the funnier the attempts to act it out. On muta.pro the game picks the words for you: gather your group with a room code and play right in your browser.
