You Can't Say Umm

Describe the thing. Do not say umm. Good luck.

You've got a word to get your team to guess and a list of things you absolutely cannot say — including, most cruelly, the filler noises everybody makes when they're stuck. Hesitate audibly and you're done.

It's a simple restriction that turns out to be brutally hard, because the moment you're told not to say umm it's the only thing your mouth wants to do. Quick rounds, easy teach, works with mixed ages.

Perfect for: family gatherings, party groups, and humbling anyone who says they're good at public speaking.
