Heads Up!

About

Heads Up! lets you guess words hidden on your forehead using clues from friends. Based on the Ellen DeGeneres show staple, players take turns acting as clue-givers while others decipher phrases ranging from celebrity names to random pop culture references. The pressure builds as a timer counts down, forcing quick thinking and laughing through wrong answers. Available on mobile devices, it’s designed for chaotic group play with no solo mode to speak of. Warner Bros. launched the game in 2013, and it stuck around thanks to its simplicity and replayability. The New York Times called it a “Sensation” and Cosmopolitan praised it as a “best dollar spent,” highlighting how easily it turns any gathering into a giggly mess. While the card library feels a bit dated now, the core concept remains a party staple. Quick matches and zero learning curve make it a go-to for impromptu trivia battles.
