What is Charades?

Charades is a lively and engaging party game where players act out words or phrases without speaking, while their teammates try to guess what they're portraying. It's a game of non-verbal communication, relying on gestures, facial expressions, and body movements to convey clues. Typically played in teams, it encourages creativity, quick thinking, and teamwork as players race against the clock to decipher the charades before time runs out. Charades is beloved for its ability to bring laughter, excitement, and interactive fun to gatherings of friends, family, or colleagues, making it a timeless choice for entertainment.
