Charades
One word, one clue, and no saying it out loud.

Reading this needs nothing. Starting a session needs a nickname, which takes about a minute and asks for no email address.
What it is
Describe it without saying it. Everyone guesses, and the performer decides who understood.
How it plays
- 1
One player gets a word and writes a clue for it without using the word itself.
- 2
Everyone else writes down what they think it is.
- 3
The performer says who got it, and the turn passes on.
The details
- Players
- 3–8 players. The host can set the number in advance, or leave it open and close the door once everyone has arrived.
- How long
- About a few minutes of playing. The session itself lasts as long as the host sets, from an hour to a week, so nobody has to be at their phone at the same time.
- Kind of game
- Party games
- Suitable for
- Anyone. Nothing in it that anybody needs to be warned about.
- What is kept
- Everything written in a session is encrypted, and the whole session is deleted when it ends. What that means.
