Pick one of the 28 decks — or a custom deck you wrote yourself.
Choose a round length: 10 seconds, 90 seconds, 2, 3 or 4 minutes.
Hold the phone to your forehead, screen facing your friends. They act it out.
Tilt down when you guess right, tilt up to pass. Tapping the bottom or top half works too.
Act Up is landscape-only by design — that's how it reads on a forehead. If your device is locked to portrait, open Control Centre on iOS or Quick Settings on Android, turn rotation lock off, then reopen the app.
Tilt uses your phone's motion sensors, so check the motion permission was granted — on iOS that's Settings → Act Up. Also tilt decisively rather than nudging; the game waits for a real angle so it doesn't fire by accident. If it still feels wrong, Settings has three sensitivity levels — gentle, default and strict — plus a calibration offset.
Completely. Every deck ships inside the app. Nothing to download, nothing to sign into, and it runs fine in airplane mode — planes, cars, festivals, basements.
English, Arabic, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese. All 28 decks exist in full in every one of them — not machine-translated stubs. Switch language in Settings.
Yes — that's usually where the best rounds come from. Make a custom deck in the app, name it, add as many prompts as you like. Inside jokes, colleagues' names, whatever your group finds funny. Custom decks live on your device and play exactly like the built-in ones.
Round recording is iOS only right now. It needs camera and microphone permission, plus photo library access to save the result — check Settings → Act Up if you declined any of those. It also needs free storage; a full device will make it fail silently.
There's nothing on our side to delete — Act Up sends nothing anywhere. Deleting the app removes your settings, stats and custom decks. Recordings you saved to your photo library stay there until you delete them yourself. Full detail on the privacy page.
Tell us the deck, the language and the prompt, and we'll fix it in the next update. We'd much rather hear about it than not.
The app is finished and in the process of being published to the App Store and Google Play. Leave your email and we'll tell you the day it's live.
Send these four things and we can usually fix it fast:
Act Up respects your system text size and your reduce-motion setting. Every scoring action has a tap alternative, so tilting is never the only way to play.
