Charado is a game of forming shapes from play dough, and having your partner(s) try to guess what shape you were trying to form. Fundamentally similar to "Clay Mania" and "Clay to Win" and clearly inspired by "Charades" and "Pictionary".

Teams try to work their pawn across a grid of colored squares, with each color of square representing one of four categories of 'subject' (Creatures & Things, Actions, People & Gadgets, and Grab Bag) that one teammate must sculpt for the others' guesswork and amusement.
