About this item

Highlights

  • A CROWD-PLEASER: Get ready for a super-simple party game about describing ridiculous word combos for your team. Guaranteed funny ‘messing up’ moments, perfect for families and adults.
  • DESCRIBE WEIRD WORD PAIRS: Soapy Cactus! Wobbly Hamster! Describe strange word pairings for your team to guess.
  • WATCH OUT FOR THE BELL… Don’t hesitate! If you get tongue-tied, the other team rings the bell — and they get points every time you mess up.

Description

This is a noisy party game with one super, simple mission – you can’t say “umm”.

Two teams race to get their pieces to the end of the board first. They’ll do it by describing as many strange sounding objects as they can, from the random cards they pick up. The only problem is: you can’t say “umm”. Every time you do, the bell will sound, adding to the pressure!

As each team gets closer to the end, more and more sounds become off limit, making it a frantic dash to the finish line.

    Listen to your customers, BP!

    Great game but another Big Potato game which desperately needs an expansion pack (or just to have more cards to start with). I don’t mean a “late night” or “NSFW” expansion pack- just you play 1x and practically get through all the cards. It’s a lot of fun otherwise and I do recommend.

    Love it its a must

    Bought this game thinking it would be a chill, funny game. Turns out it’s a public-speaking boot camp designed to expose how often I rely on “umm” to survive conversations. Spoiler alert: it’s a lot. Every round feels like being put on the spot in front of a jury that’s just waiting for you to slip. The pressure is real, the silence is loud, and the second you panic… buzz. Suddenly everyone’s laughing while you question how you’ve ever spoken a full sentence in your life. Great for parties, roasting your friends, and humbling anyone who thinks they’re “good at talking.” Fun, stressful, and mildly traumatizing in the best way. Would recommend — just don’t hesitate.

    You Can’t Say Umm… But You Can Definitely Scream Laugh

    I recently played You Can’t Say Umm at a wedding party, and it turned into absolute comedic mayhem. What started as a light game of wordplay escalated into a full-blown competition — people were yelling, laughing, and slamming the bell any time someone nervously slipped out an “umm.” It didn’t take long before everyone was shouting accusations, defending their speeches, and howling with laughter. We even made up our own extra rule: every time someone got “dinged” by the bell, they had to take a drink — and that twist took the chaos (and the fun) to a whole new level. It was pure energy from start to finish and easily became the highlight of the night.

    Fun

    Fun game. A little older than listed on box though. I think it is more of an adult game.

    Hilarious game to play

    This game is harder than you think. I never noticed how much we use the word umm and other interjections until I played this game. It is so much fun trying to describe things without word fillers. Its a lot of fun, and a lot of laughs.

    Umm Fun For Everyone!

    I played this with my family and during game night, and getting everyone to join in was a bit of a challenge at first. Some people were hesitant because they were convinced they’d say “umm” too much and couldn’t handle the pressure. To ease them into it, we played a round without that rule, which helped everyone feel more comfortable and willing to give it a shot. Once they got into the groove, they realized how fun and engaging it was and even commented, “Oh, this is kind of like Taboo!” It ended up being a great icebreaker and a big hit!

    Fun game for all

    I liked this game because it was very interactive and I got to have a lot of fun and creativity with my friends and family. However, it was challenging to do for the first few rounds because it was confusing and there were rules that we kept forgetting. Overall, I thought it was a solid game. Highly recommend especially for parties and reunions to break the ice.

    Very challenging but fun!

    We got this game through a promotion from Big Potato Games & played it with a group of friends during a Friendsgiving get together. It was a little confusing to understand at first but as soon as we got the hang of it, it was great! It was really funny seeing who could handle not saying Umm & who couldn't!
