How to play charades
- One player — the host — takes a word and explains it without saying the word itself (or shows it with gestures).
- The others shout or type their guesses.
- Whoever guesses first gets a point and usually becomes the next host.
- Set a time limit: 1–3 minutes per word keeps the game fast.
Tips for the host
- Explain through what the thing does or where you meet it, not what letters it has.
- Stuck? Explain a part of the word or a related word.
- In a video call, hide your screen while you look at the word.

Questions
How do I play charades in a Telegram group?
Add @ChatGamesForGroupsBot to the group and send /croc. You become the host: the bot shows you a word, you explain it, and the first person to type it correctly wins the round. A round lasts 3 minutes; /top shows the scores.
Are the words the same in every language?
No, each language has its own list, chosen so the words are easy to explain in that language. The bot picks the list by the host's Telegram language.
Can I use these words offline?
Yes — read them from the list or tap Next word and play in the room, in a call or on a trip.
