How to play Reverse Charades Relay

Step 1

One player is the guesser while the rest of their team acts the same verbal prompt.

Step 2

Actors stay silent and avoid spelling, pointing at text, or grabbing room objects.

Step 3

Each correct guess scores 1 point before the team rotates to a new guesser.

Step 4

Keep turns short so every player gets to guess once.

Scoring

How the result works

Each correct prompt scores 1 point for the active team.

Example: The team silently acts a host-called animal prompt, the guesser solves it, and they rotate to the next verbal prompt.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Letting actors whisper or point at objects. Keep the clues silent and physical.

Safety: Give the acting group enough clear space and avoid contact-heavy movements.
