Charades Timer

One minute to act it out — the standard charades turn, loaded and ready. The actor draws a clue, the timer starts, and the team has 60 seconds to guess before the buzzer ends the turn and play passes on. No phone to watch, no argument about whether time was up.

A minute is the classic length, but charades bends to the room: open the preset in the editor and play two- or three-minute turns for harder clues or longer movies, or tighten it for a quick-fire game. Set the number of rounds to give every player or team the same clock, one turn after another.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a charades turn?
One minute is the classic length — the team has 60 seconds to guess the clue the actor is performing. Many groups play two or three minutes for harder clues; open the editor to set whichever you use.
Can I run a turn for each player?
Yes — set the number of rounds in the editor and the one-minute turn repeats back to back, so every player or team acts to the same clock with no gap between.
Does it buzz when the turn is over?
Yes — a sound and a spoken alert play the instant the minute is up, so the actor knows to stop and play moves on without anyone keeping time.
