Overview

Break the ice and energize your team with a round of Emoji Charades — the digital twist on the classic guessing game. Players use only emojis to describe a word or phrase while their team guesses on the shared Zoom Whiteboard canvas. Perfect for virtual team-building, onboarding events, and any meeting that needs a warm-up.

Key Features

• Game board layout with player zones and guess areas
• Pre-loaded prompt cards for each round
• Scoreboard section for tracking points across teams
• Emoji palette reference so players can find the right reactions fast
• Timer section for keeping rounds competitive

How to Use

1. Divide participants into teams and assign each team a zone on the canvas
2. The active player selects a prompt card, then adds emojis to their zone using the Stickers & Emojis tool — no letters, no text
3. Teammates type their guesses using sticky notes or the Text tool in their group zone
4. The facilitator tracks points on the scoreboard section using the Quick Actions widget
5. Rotate players each round — first team to reach the target score wins

Benefits

Emoji Charades takes 10 minutes and turns a room of strangers into a team. Use it to open a workshop, welcome new hires, or just remind your team that work can be fun.
