Play Silent Charades Online
Silent Charades is real charades, played over live video. One player receives a secret prompt and acts it out on camera with their mic muted, while everyone else types guesses into chat. It is free, works in any browser, and needs no download or account. Most "online charades" tools are just word generators that expect you to run a separate Zoom call — here the camera, the prompts, the timer and the scoring are all in the same room.
How to play Silent Charades
- Host a room, share the link, and pick Silent Charades.
- One player is the actor. They pick one of three secret prompts.
- Their mic mutes automatically and their video goes centre stage.
- Everyone else types guesses in chat. Correct guesses score, and the sooner the better.
- The role rotates each round until everyone has acted.

Players and setup
Silent Charades supports 3–10 players. There is nothing to install on any device and no account to create — the host makes a room, shares the link, and everyone who taps it is in. It works on laptops, desktops, tablets and phones.
This game uses your webcam, which is the point of it — you will be asked for camera and microphone permission when you join.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a webcam for Silent Charades?
Yes — this is the one game on Poparty that genuinely requires a camera, because acting on video is the whole point. Everyone else can play camera-off if they prefer.
Is it free?
Completely. No account, no install, no trial.
How many people can play?
Three to ten. Six to eight is the sweet spot.
Do I need Zoom or Discord as well?
No. Video and voice are built into the room, which is the main difference from charades word-generator sites.
