About this game
Play Couples Charades together
Couples Charades turns familiar moments into a fast guessing game for two. Each round first shows a handoff cue, so the guesser can look away while the actor privately reveals a scene. No props, score sheet, or acting experience is needed—commit to the movement, laugh at the wrong guesses, and swap roles after every card.

Why couples like it
- Physical clues create easy laughter without asking either partner to share private information.

- Short, familiar scenes make the game approachable even for shy players.
Make the next round better

- If a card feels awkward, pass immediately and keep the game moving.
Couples Charades FAQ
How do two people play charades on one device?
The guesser looks away, the actor privately reveals one action, then the device is placed face down while the silent performance begins.
Can we skip a difficult charade?
Yes. Treat any card as optional, advance immediately, and swap roles as usual so one hard scene never stalls the game.
Do these charades require props?
No. Every action is designed for gestures, facial expressions, and imaginary objects, although safe household props are fine if both players want them.
