Heads Up! lets you play a fast‑paced charades‑style guessing game with friends, using your phone as a virtual headband for endless party fun.
What is Heads Up!?
Heads Up! is a mobile party game that turns your smartphone into a virtual headband.

The game is designed for quick rounds, making it ideal for gatherings, family nights, or virtual meet‑ups.
Main features
- Multiple decks – Choose from a variety of themed decks that cover pop culture, movies, music, and more.
- Simple controls – Tilt the phone down to mark a correct guess, tilt up to skip.
- Timer‑based rounds – Each round lasts 60 seconds, encouraging fast thinking and lively interaction.
- Multiplayer friendly – Works equally well in the same room or over video calls.
How it works
- Select a deck that matches the interests of your group.
- One player holds the phone to their forehead so the screen faces the rest of the players.
- The timer starts and the clue‑givers describe the word without saying it directly.
- When the guesser gets it right, they tilt the phone down; for a pass, they tilt it up.
- The round ends when the timer runs out, and scores are tallied.
