Charades & Headbands: Guess Up

Guess Up turns a phone into a forehead charades prompt with team and custom-deck options.

Our take

For group guessing games

Recording is optional for saving memorable rounds.

Keep in mind: Not all decks are free; recording needs every participant’s consent.

What you can do

  • Guess from friends’ clues.
  • Create/share custom decks.
  • Play timed team rounds and eligible recordings.

Review themes: 35 US App Store written reviews, updated Dec 24, 2025–Oct 11, 2026. Collected Nov 3, 2026.

Review sources & grouping details

These themes use the completed local review collection and Codex analysis: the latest accessible written reviews within one year, up to 500 per app. This is an accessible sample, not a guarantee of all reviews or a measure of all users.

The feed does not identify each review’s platform. Its date is an update timestamp and may reflect an edited review. Versions shown belong to individual reviews; reported limitations are not verified current-version behavior.

Codex grouped explicit opinions from the review text, with original-text evidence retained. Counts use distinct review IDs, independently of star rating. A review may appear in several topics. The three most-mentioned topics per side are shown first; where more are available, expand the list to see every topic supported by at least three reviews. Group summaries describe recurring aspects across the group; individual examples retain their own context and do not stand in for the whole group. 9 reviews were too general, unclear or off-topic to assign a specific theme. Example summaries are paraphrases; the labeled excerpts are original review text. Analysis updated Nov 5, 2026.
