Forbidden Words, Charades & Heads Up

Team word games. Describe, act or guess as many words as you can before time’s up.

Split into 2 or 3 teams (by seat order). Teams take turns; each turn one player is up and the timer runs.

  • Forbidden Words: describe the word on your phone without saying it or any of the forbidden words under it. The other team sees the card too and can buzz (−1) if you slip.
  • Charades: act it out, no talking.
  • Heads Up: hold your phone to your forehead; your team describes the word and you guess.

Tap Got it (+1) or Skip (−1 if skipping costs a point is on) to get the next card. Play 2, 3 or 5 turns per team of 45, 60 or 90 seconds. Charades and Heads Up have categories, including Lebanese.
