What it is
Dumb Charades is the game where one person acts out a word without speaking and their team shouts out guesses. Khel ON keeps the words, the clock and the score, so nobody has to write chits or watch a timer. The actor sees the word privately behind a “pass the phone” screen, and the team gets a point for every word it guesses before time runs out.
There are 11 categories and more than 380 words, all written for Khel ON and drawn from everyday Indian life: animals, a wedding, the kitchen, jobs, sports and games, festivals, things at home, actions, places in India, food, and a set of easy words for small children. No film or song titles, no brands, no real people.

How to play
Make two teams
Team Kesar and Team Neel. Pick how many turns each team gets (3, 5 or 8), how long a turn lasts (45, 60 or 90 seconds), the skips allowed and the categories.
Pass the phone to the actor
Only the actor looks. Tap to see the word: a 3, 2, 1 and the clock starts.
Act it out, no talking
No words, no letters in the air, no pointing at things in the room. Tap Got it! when your team guesses, or Skip if it’s too hard.
Swap teams
When time is up you see the words you got and missed (tap one to fix a mistake). Pass the phone to the other team. Most words after all the turns wins.
Good to know
Kids mode
Switch it on for easy words only, plus a whole category of simple words small children can act: ball, kite, aeroplane, teddy bear.
Fresh words every game
A word never comes up twice in one game, and words you’ve seen recently go to the back of the queue next time. This is remembered on your phone only.
Pause any time
Pause freezes the clock (the word is hidden while paused). If you stop, the game is saved: pick “Continue your game” to carry on, and the word stays hidden until the actor taps.
