From talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, Heads Up! is one of the most popular party games available. Perfect for all ages, the game’s appeal is in large part thanks to its simplicity and the fact that it can be played with anywhere between two people to a huge group.
You’ll hold up an iPhone to your forehead, and the phone screen then displays a word from a diverse number of different categories. It’s up to everyone else to give clues so you can correctly guess the right answer. If you guess correctly, tilt the phone screen down to draw a new card. Tilting up will pass the word and also show a new clue.
