CHARADES: Guess word on heads in IOS

Party game - put your hands up

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

80/100

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.
