Game Round Timer
A fullscreen countdown styled like a round kitchen timer. Set the length of each round, hit start, and it rings the moment time runs out — perfect for charades, Crocodile and party games.
Drag the dial to set the time, or pick a preset.
How the game timer works
- 1
Set the round length
Drag the dial like a real kitchen timer, tap a preset (30 seconds to 5 minutes) or nudge it in 15-second steps.
- 2
Start the round
Hit start and the ring drains around the dial while the big countdown ticks down — go full screen so everyone in the room can see it.

It rings at zero
When time is up the timer rings like a kitchen timer and the dial flashes, so the round ends on time even from across the room.
Frequently asked questions
Is this game timer free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up. Open the page, set a time and start — it works right in your browser on phones, tablets and laptops.
Does it make a sound when time is up?
It does. The timer rings like a classic kitchen timer the moment the countdown hits zero, and the dial flashes too. Tap start once so your browser allows the sound, and you can mute it any time.
Which games is it good for?
Any game with timed rounds: charades, Crocodile, Taboo, Pictionary, board games, debates, quizzes or speed challenges. Set the round length once and reuse it all night.
Can I use it full screen?
Yes. Tap the full-screen button and the round timer fills the whole display, so everyone across the room can read the countdown. The screen is kept awake while the timer runs.
