Heads Up! Charades for Kids in IOS

Family fun guessing game

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

91/100

Heads Up! Kids is a stroke of genius. While the original game is a blast, it can be frustrating for children who can't read quickly. This version solves that by using charming, colorful illustrations instead of text. Watching a five-year-old try to act out a 'Elephant' or 'Eating Pizza' based on a picture is pure comedy gold.

It’s the perfect 'waiting in line' app. It requires no setup, and the scavenger hunt mode is a brilliant way to get kids moving and interacting with their environment. The ability to record the gameplay videos is a wonderful feature, capturing those genuine moments of family laughter that you'll want to keep forever. It’s wholesome, engaging, and arguably the best family game on the App Store.
