Heads Up alternative with more than one mode
Fast forehead guessing when you want charades energy—plus Forbidden Words when the group wants teams and banned clues.
Heads Up fans want speed—not paywalls
Heads Up made phone-on-forehead guessing famous: tilt to pass, shout answers, race the clock. Copycat apps often shrink free decks, push celebrity packs behind subscriptions, or show ads right when the room gets loud.
Tadado’s Heads Up mode delivers the same social loop with clear scoring and themed decks. When half the group prefers Taboo-style clues, switch modes in the same session—no second download.
