One generator for every guessing game
Party Word Generator gives you a random word in one tap, so nobody has to sit out a round writing prompts. Pick a game, choose categories and a difficulty, then hand the phone to whoever is up next. The deck holds 329 drawing words and 163 acting prompts, sorted into easy, medium and hard.
How to use it
- Choose a game. Draw it gives you nouns and simple scenes that are fun to sketch. Act it gives you actions, jobs, emotions and situations that are fun to mime.
- Filter if you want. Tap one or more categories, or leave it on All. Choose Easy for kids and warm-up rounds, Hard for competitive players.
- Tap New word. Use Hide word so only the drawer or actor can see it, then start the timer.
- Keep score. The built-in scoreboard tracks two teams, so you do not need pen and paper.
Pick the right generator for your group
Every page on this site uses the same simple tool with a different word deck:
- Pictionary word generator: the full drawing deck with seven categories.
- Charades generator: actions, animals, jobs, sports, emotions and situations to act out.
- Pictionary words for kids and easy Pictionary words: simple shapes and familiar things for young players.
- Funny Pictionary words: silly scenes like "a shark at the dentist".
- Charades ideas for adults: office life, dating and the joys of adulting.
Game night tips
- Play in two teams and alternate turns. One minute per round keeps the energy up.
- Mix difficulties: let the newest player choose Easy, and give the reigning champion a Hard word.
- Agree on house rules before you start: no letters or numbers when drawing, no talking or lip-syncing when acting.
Frequently asked questions
What is a party word generator?
It is a free online tool that picks a random word or phrase for party games such as Pictionary-style drawing games and charades. Instead of writing slips of paper, one player taps the button and gets a fresh prompt instantly.
Which games can I play with it?
Switch to Draw it for drawing games like Pictionary, Telestrations-style sketching or whiteboard games, and to Act it for charades, mime and heads-up style guessing. The same words also work for Taboo-style describing games.
Do words repeat?
No. The generator shuffles the whole deck and deals each word once. When every word has been used, it reshuffles automatically and tells you.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is completely free, works on phones, tablets and laptops, and there is nothing to sign up for or download.
Can I play over Zoom or another video call?
Yes. The person whose turn it is opens the page on their own phone, taps Hide word before sharing their screen, and reveals the word only to themselves.
