Dumb charades rules: the signs
No talking, no mouthing words, no pointing at things in the room that spell the answer. These are the signs most Indian families and hostels already use.
It's a film
Crank an old movie camera beside your head.
Number of words
Hold up that many fingers, then the finger for the word you're acting.
Syllables
Lay fingers on your forearm for the number of syllables in the word.
Sounds like
Tug your earlobe, then act a word that rhymes.
Small word
Hold thumb and finger close together for "ka", "ki", "se", "aur".
The whole title
Sweep both arms wide to act out the entire name at once.
Twists to make it harder
For the round after everyone gets Sholay in four seconds. Mehfil's host can add one of these to the actor's turn.
Ek haath
Sirf ek haath use kar sakte ho.
Baitha ke
Baith ke karo — uthna allowed nahi.
Ultra-slow
Har move 3x slow motion mein.
Robot mode
Robot jaisi jerky movements sirf.
Peeth karke
Team ki taraf peeth kar ke karo.
Speed run
Poori mime 15 seconds mein khatam.
