Why use a charades wheel

Sixteen charades ideas are on the wheel, easy enough for kids and funny for adults. The actor spins in secret, then acts it out with no words while the team races to guess.

Play charades at a party
Split into two teams and spin for each actor, with a one-minute timer.
Play charades in class
Teachers can let a student spin and act while the class guesses.
Make family game night louder

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you play charades?

One person acts out the idea without speaking or pointing at things in the room. Their team has one minute to guess it.

Is the wheel really random?

Yes. Every entry has a slice of the same size, and where the wheel stops is picked with your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), so nobody can predict or rig the result.

Can I change the entries on this wheel?

Yes. Click “Create your own charades idea picker” to save your own copy. You can then add, remove or rename entries, change the theme and spin settings, and share or embed your wheel.
