Pixel Charades is a creative twist on the classic game of charades. Instead of acting out words or phrases, players build pixelated designs using Policubes. The goal is to create recognizable shapes or objects that other players can guess within a time limit.

Basic Rules:

  1. Setup: Divide players into two teams. One player from each team receives a word or theme (e.g., a house, a car, an animal) and has a limited time to build a representation of it using Policubes.
  2. Building and Guessing: While the player builds, their teammates try to guess the object or theme. The builder can only use the cubes and cannot speak or give clues.
  3. Scoring: If the team guesses correctly within the time limit, they earn a point. If not, the opposing team has one chance to steal the point by making a guess.
  4. Winning the Game: The game continues until all players have had a turn building. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Customization:

Create different difficulty levels by introducing more complex designs or limiting the number of cubes that can be used. Provide a list of suggested themes or allow players to come up with their own creative ideas. For a more competitive edge, add time penalties for incorrect guesses or allow teams to “steal” builds for extra points.
