One dollar. That’s the whole business model.
Type any theme (‘90s one-hit wonders, your nan’s sayings, the group chat’s in-jokes) and we’ll generate a 50-word charades pack from it in seconds. The dollar just covers the AI’s bill. Everything else stays genuinely free.

Why we built it
No paywalls. No “unlock this category for $2.99”. No subscription, no ads in your face. We reckon charades should just be free.
06Questions
The honest answers.
Is it actually free?
Yes. Every pack, both game modes, forever. No locked categories, no “unlock for $2.99”, no ads shoved in your face. The only thing that costs money is the optional AI pack generator: one dollar, opt-in.
How is this different from Heads Up?
The gesture is the same idea: phone on the forehead, tilt to answer. The difference is the deal. Most of the genre charges for the app and then sells decks on top of it. Tilt hands you all 62 packs the moment you install, with no ads and nothing locked, and the only optional purchase is the $1 AI pack generator.
How many people do you need?
Two is enough to get a game going. Four to ten is where it actually gets loud. Match mode splits you into teams and rotates the phone automatically, and Rooms has no upper limit worth worrying about, so a big group works fine.
What do I need to play?
An iPhone or an Android phone for the app, or any browser at all for the web version at play.tiltcharades.com. Rooms guests join from whatever they have on them, phone or laptop, without installing anything.
Do I need an account?
No. Open it and play. Nothing to sign up for, no email required. (An optional sign-in syncs your custom and AI packs across devices, but it’s never required to play, and Rooms never needs one.)
Can we play online / remotely?
Yes, that’s Rooms. One person creates a room, shares the code or link, and everyone joins from their own phone or laptop, anywhere in the world. No account, no download. Two online modes: Classic (one person guesses, everyone else gives clues and hits correct/pass) and Speed Race (one person describes while everyone races to type the word fastest). Bring your own voice chat (Discord, a group call) and go.
What’s the $1 for, then?
The AI pack generator. Type any theme and we spin up a 50-word charades pack from it in seconds. The dollar just covers the AI’s bill so everything else can stay genuinely free. You only pay if you want one.
Does it work offline?
Yep. Quick Play, Match and every bundled pack run with no signal, perfect for road trips and dodgy reception. The two things that need a connection are Rooms, since everyone’s playing over the internet, and the AI generator.
Is it kid-friendly?
There’s a family-friendly filter that hides the cheeky “After Dark” pack. Flip it on and everything that’s left is good for the whole room.
How does the tilt thing actually work?
Your phone’s motion sensor. Hold it to your forehead, screen facing out. Tilt the top down toward the floor for “got it”, tip it back up toward you for “pass”. That’s the whole control scheme.
Stick a phone on your forehead.
Free, offline, no account, no nonsense. The best ten minutes your living room’s had all week.
