1v1 charades. Ask for movie, act it out, and the other person guesses!

Genesis

I've been thinking of how to do something around dumb charades online for a while... I had tried to see if ChatGPT could guess my acting of movies, but that didn't work! I also thought of a very simple problem of a person not knowing what movie to act, and using a tool to get a movie prompt and a countdown timer.

I had also been thinking of game mechanics - creating a room, sharing a room code, and getting people paired up to play.

I brought these 2 together in a 1v1 dumb charades game, that's quite fun! I want to see if I can expand this to 1vn

Differentiators

  • 1v1 dumb charades
  • The actors video is turned on - but the audio isn't turned on!
  • The guessers audio and video is turned on, and they can type out the guess as well

Tech Learnings

  • WebRTC for 1v1 video
  • Web Sockets for game connection
