About this tool
The random charades word generator is your instant deck of charades prompts — movies, animals, actions, objects and jobs — ready for game night with no slips of paper or hats required.
Choose a category or go fully random, then act it out in silence while your team guesses. Turn on pass-the-phone mode to keep each word hidden until the actor taps to reveal it, so the rest of the room stays in the dark. Pair it with our countdown timer for timed rounds.
Frequently asked questions
Is the word chosen randomly?
Yes — every word is drawn from a curated charades list with your browser’s secure random generator, so each round is a genuine surprise that nobody could have set up.
Can I choose a category?
Absolutely. Pick Movies, Animals, Actions, Objects or Jobs, or leave it on Any for a mixed bag. The category is always shown so the actor knows the theme.
What is ‘pass-the-phone’ mode?
Tick ‘Hide word until tapped’ and the word stays secret behind a tap — perfect for handing the phone to the actor without everyone else seeing the answer.
How many players do I need?
Charades works with as few as two and scales to big groups. One person acts out the word in silence while the others guess before time runs out.
