About the game

What is Reverse Charades?

Reverse Charades flips the charade standard of one person giving clues to a large group on its head by splitting the players (six or more) into two teams, then having all but one person on a team work together to get that one person to guess as many words as possible in sixty seconds. Each guessed word is worth one point; each word spoken or mouthed costs that team a point. After each player has guessed once, the team with the most points wins. The same concept has been applied to make it suitable for families and children ages 6 and up, see Reverse Charades Junior Edition.
