Is Chardz like Heads Up!?

Is there an iPhone version?

How many players do you need?

Two is enough: one person guesses and one gives clues. For bigger groups, use team mode to name your teams, pick avatars and play a tournament with a leaderboard.

Can I add my own words?

Yes. Create custom decks with your own words, inside jokes or party themes, and mix them with the built-in decks.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. The decks are stored on your phone, so you can play without Wi-Fi or mobile data.

Is it good for kids?

Chardz is rated Everyone on Google Play. Animals, Food, Objects and Act It Out are great for young kids; Movies, Books and Famous People suit older players.
