Electronic Guesstures is a board game released in 2005 for 4–24 players and 30 minutes per game. It was designed by Todd Kurtzer and Don Rosenwinkel and its main mechanics are Team-Based Game and Acting.
A fast paced game of charades. Based on Guesstures but with different rules. Played in teams to 15 points The actors try to get their team to guess as many words as possible in 30 seconds (no limit). The actor doesn't get to see the words before the timer starts but only as they come up when the timer is going. If the actor is still trying to get the team to guess a word when they time runs out, the team loses all points gained in the round so when time is getting low, the player must decide whether to play it safe and stop or try another word and risk losing all the points earned so far this round. After the timer runs out, the other team may challenge rules violations. If they are successful, the acting team loses all points for the round. The electronic device has an LCD display on both sides and manages the time, the words, points and challenges. Requires three AA batteries (not included).
