What is Dumb Charades?

Dumb Charades is a simple party game: someone gets a secret word (often a movie name), then acts it out without speaking. Their teammates guess. That’s it—and that’s why it works. There’s no equipment, no complicated rules, and no prep. You can play it in a living room, at a house party, or on a remote team call.

Online Dumb Charades is the same game, but smoother when you have a clear round format, a timer, and a list of prompts. That’s where ActNGuess fits: it’s a real-time multiplayer experience designed to keep rounds moving so everyone stays engaged.

Why it’s perfect for teams & remote work

Remote teams don’t need more meetings—they need shared moments. Dumb Charades works because it’s quick, inclusive, and creates instant inside jokes. It also naturally builds healthier team dynamics: people listen, collaborate, and learn each other’s communication styles.

  • Low effort: no deck to buy, no instructions to memorize.
  • Inclusive: easy for new joiners and cross-functional teams.
  • High energy: laughter breaks tension and builds trust.
  • Works on any call: Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams.
