How to play Headbands
- 1Pick a category and round length, then tap Start.
- 2The guesser holds the device up to their forehead, screen facing outward - so everyone else can read the word.
- 3The rest of the group gives clues or acts it out (without saying the word itself).
- 4When the guesser shouts the right answer, tap 'Got it!' for a point and the next word appears.
- 5Stuck on a word? Tap 'Pass' to skip it.
- 6Keep going until the timer runs out, then pass the device to the next player.
Headbands - inspired by Heads Up - flips charades around: instead of acting, you're the one guessing your own secret word from everyone else's clues. Because you can't see what's on your own forehead, it's a wonderfully chaotic, laugh-out-loud game. It needs just one device and works brilliantly at parties, family gatherings, and as a lively classroom warm-up.
Frequently asked questions
How do you play Headbands?＋
Hold the screen to your forehead so others can see the word but you can't. Your team gives clues, you guess out loud, and you tap 'Got it' for each correct answer before time runs out.
How is it different from Charades?＋
In Charades you act out a word your team guesses. In Headbands you're the guesser - the word is shown to everyone except you, and they help you figure it out with clues.
What categories are there?＋
Animals, Actions, Movies & TV, Jobs, Objects, and Sports - or choose 'All' for a mix of everything.
How many players do I need?＋
At least two - one to guess and one or more to give clues - but it's most fun with a bigger group taking turns.
