## Beskrivelse

Bring the classic **Charades** (Pantomime) game to your WordPress website. Whether
you’re at a party, in a classroom, or just bored at home — this plugin transforms
your browser into an interactive and engaging **team-based word guessing game**!

🎭 **Features:**

 * Create custom categories with optional icons (recommended size: 64×64 px)
 * Add your own words or phrases per category
 * Include an optional comment or hint for each word (e.g., author, year, clue)
 * Two-team rotation system for turn-based gameplay
 * Built-in timer and automatic scoring system
 * Tie-breaker logic using average team response times
 * Wake Lock enabled to prevent screen sleep during play
 * **Fully responsive and mobile-friendly** – play on any device!
 * No logins, no third-party accounts required

🧩 Perfect for:
 – Family gatherings & parties – Classroom activities & educational
games – Remote team-building sessions – Ice-breakers and social events

### How It Works

 1. The admin creates categories (e.g., “Books”, “Movies”, “Animals”) and uploads a
    64x64px icon.
 2. Each category contains words/phrases and optionally a short comment (e.g., _“The
    Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”_ – Author: Larsson Stieg).
 3. Players split into **two teams** and choose team names.
 4. A random word or phrase is shown to one team while the others guess.
 5. Each team has a set time (default: 90 seconds) to act out and guess the word.
 6. Teams alternate turns; correct guesses earn points.
 7. The team with the most points (or the fastest response time in a tie) wins!
