How to Play Adult Charades

1. Split into teams or play as one group.
2. Give the actor a prompt without showing the other players.
3. The actor uses gestures only—no speaking, mouthing words, or spelling with letters.
4. Set a 60- to 90-second timer and award a point for a correct guess.
5. Rotate actors and continue until every player has had a turn.

Tips for a Better Adult Charades Night

• Match the prompts to the room: work parties usually need a cleaner list than a close-friends game night.
• Allow one free pass: the game moves faster when nobody gets stuck on a prompt.
• Mix difficulty: alternate obvious actions with harder movie, song, and character clues.
• Use shorter rounds: 60 seconds keeps the energy higher for large groups.
• Keep teams balanced: spread confident performers across both teams.
