The bit everyone gets wrong
Hold the phone so only you can see it. The whole game breaks if the screen faces the room.

The rules
5 steps.
- The performer takes the phone and taps to start — only they see the word.
- Act it out silently. No speaking, no mouthing, no pointing at objects in the room.
- When someone in the group shouts it, tap "Got it" for the next word.
- Stuck? Tap skip. You get a limited number.
- When the clock runs out, pass the phone to the next performer.
What the phone does
The phone holds the words, runs the clock and keeps score. It cannot hear the guesses — you tap when the group gets one.
It is a dealer and a scorekeeper, never a judge. It cannot hear the room and it does not decide who was right.

Charades is one game in a library of 59. Finish it and PartyStack names the next one — a different kind each time, so nobody has to go back to a menu.
