Charades Generator
Random charades prompts across actions, animals, movies, professions and phrases.
Overview
The Charades Generator pulls random prompts for the timeless act-it-out party game. Choose a category — actions, animals, movies, professions, or phrases — and the generator surfaces a single prompt to mime. It is the fastest way to start a round without arguments about who picked too easy a clue.
The bank covers difficulty levels from "instantly obvious" to "good luck", so the same generator works for a kids' birthday party and a competitive game night with friends. There are no cards to lose, no slips of paper to write, and nothing to set up.
How it works
Each category contains dozens of curated prompts. When you press the button, the generator picks one from your chosen category at random and reveals it only to the actor — the rest of the room sees the timer or instructions, not the answer. After the round, you can reveal the prompt and tap for the next.
Switching categories mid-game is encouraged. Mix in a "movies" round after several "animals" prompts to keep the energy fresh.
Examples
- Animal: "kangaroo"
- Movie: "Jurassic Park"
- Action: "tying shoelaces"
- Profession: "astronaut"
