Netflix Heads Up! is an ideal app for a family game night that "reinvents charades for a new generation," according to the company. A player selects a category and then holds the device over their head with the screen facing outwards. They must then guess the words based on the prompts and clues provided by the remaining party.
The app allows you to share recordings of your matches with friends and family on Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, and more. The arrival of Netflix Heads Up! has increased the number of games in Netflix's catalogue to 27. The company says that it hopes to have over 50 games under its belt by the end of the year.
