What's inside the box?
What's inside the box?

  • 150 cards
  • 2 playing pieces
  • 1 board
  • 1 bell

Is it right for you?

Perfect for…

Fast-paced team party games, two sides racing to describe and out-shout each other

Big groups and parties, the more players you split into teams the better

Competitive players, you score by describing fast AND by catching the other team slip up

Fans of charades and Taboo who want sabotage, a bell and silly voices

Game nights and parties that need a high-energy kick

Anyone up for something silly, the Rule Cards force ridiculous voices

Maybe not if…

You want deep strategy, it's built for fast describing and laughs, not tactics

You're playing solo or as a pair, it needs at least 4 to make two teams

You prefer a calm, low-key night, this is high-energy and fast-paced

You'd rather not be put on the spot, the describer is very much the star

    10/10 Game!!

    My family and I just played this on Christmas (we play games after dinner) and oh boy was it a blast!!!! We could not stop laughing it also got very tense and competitive at times 😂 We LOVE this game and are hoping there will be expansions (if there aren’t already) so we can get more A and B card selections because we started to memorize the cards after three games worth!

    A really fun game - everyone enjoyed it. I was surprised at the amazing acting skills of my family, who knew they were all such great liars?! The game pieces are great quality too, so we know it's going to last. Looking forward to getting together to play it again.

    An amazing game, you have never seen your opponents concentrate so much as you try to describe an object without any umm's or similar. The concentration matches the frustration on your teams faces as they cannot guess what you are trying to describe.

One player describes two words to their team against a 45-second timer, trying to get both guessed in the right order. Easy enough, apart from the tiny problem that they cannot say “umm,” “ah,” or any other little verbal wobble. Meanwhile, the other team is sitting there with a bell, absolutely desperate to catch them slipping. Guess well and you move along the board. Slip up and the other team cashes in. It is quick to pick up, fiercely competitive, and very good at exposing who says “umm” every other word.

4-10 players, split into teams. That is part of what makes it so good. One person is under pressure, one team is trying to guess, and the other lot are hovering over the bell like tiny judges. The more people you have, the more fingers there are itching to ring.

Very much so. It gets people involved straight away and does not waste time pretending to be subtle. You are describing, guessing, shouting, ringing, and laughing within seconds. It is one of those games where the room gets into it fast, especially once someone who was feeling very confident falls apart in under ten seconds.

Around 20 to 30 minutes. The turns are short, the pace is snappy, and the extra rules keep making things wobblier as the game goes on. It is the kind of game where one round leads to another because surely you can describe two simple words in a row without saying “umm” this time.

In the best possible way. You are under just enough pressure to make it funny, not miserable. The timer is short, the rounds move quickly, and even a total train wreck is entertaining for everyone involved. Especially for the people holding the bell.

Yes, especially if your family enjoys a bit of fast-moving fun. The challenge is simple enough for kids to get straight away, and adults are usually much worse at it than they would like to admit. It is quick, high-energy, and the kind of game that gets everyone laughing, guessing, and ringing the bell with far too much confidence.
