What the game is and who it suits

Guess Up is a word guessing game for groups that takes its format from charades, catchphrase and the headbands guess who game. The listing describes it as reverse charades, so the person guessing is the one holding the phone to their forehead while everyone else tries to get the word across.

The listing pitches it at friends, family and couples, and names game nights, Zoom parties, gatherings and date nights as the settings it is meant for.

How a round of guessing plays out

The player holds the phone on their forehead and reads the word on the card only through the people in front of them. Those people can act the word out, describe it, or call out clues from the sidelines, and the player guesses until they get it.

Since the player cannot see the word, the round depends on the group giving the clues, which is the same as a live charades game in a room.

Word categories you can choose from

The word cards are sorted into categories. The listing names Act it Out, Animals, Food, Animation Movies and Brands, and mentions more beyond those.

Some categories are built for acting, such as singing, dancing, making sounds or doing impressions, while others are topic lists like animals, food or brand names.
