The rules
Only the current actor’s phone shows the phrase. Act without speaking; friends guess aloud in person or on their own call. The actor honestly marks Solved or Pass; each player acts once. Solved earns one self-reported point. No in-app audio, camera, physical contact or timed pressure required. One phone per player keeps the phrase private.
What you need and how to start
This game needs one phone per player. Open Party Arcade, choose Create a room, share the room code or invitation link, then select Silent Charades. Each friend joins on their own phone. Names are optional.
In a room, choose the game first. Everyone, including the host, taps I’m ready. The host then taps Start to begin.
Open the web app in your device’s browser. Playing requires JavaScript. Multiplayer rooms require an internet connection on every device. Use the game’s ? button whenever you want to check the rules.
