About the game

In Hedbanz Act Up, each player wears a head band that holds a card over your forehead. You must try and guess what's on your card based on the clues given to you by the other players. The catch is that the other players can only give you clues through pantomime (as in charades). If you guess correctly, both you and the player acting out the clue score. Guess as many cards as you can within the time limit. The first player to get rid of all of his or her scoring chips wins the game.
