About the game
Ever wondered what would happen if all those childhood guessing games, like Charades or 'Who Am I?', were merged into one? Say my Name takes the essence of all those classics and blends them into a frantic and hilarious experience. The goal is straightforward: get your teammates to guess the card's content as quickly as possible, but the challenge ramps up as the game progresses. With over 700 cards covering movies, series, books, and famous personalities, there's never a dull moment.

The gameplay is split into four distinct stages that test different skills. In the first round, you have total freedom: you can speak, point, and make sounds, as long as you don't mention the keyword or the character's name. In the second round, the restrictions tighten, allowing only a single word and acting. Then comes the 'Lightning Round', a moment of total chaos where all teams compete simultaneously to see who is the fastest to guess the keyword. To wrap things up, the third round is complete silence: only pantomime is allowed.

Before starting, players choose a category (Titles, Characters, or 'Anything Goes'), allowing the group to tailor the difficulty level. It's the perfect kind of game for family gatherings or party nights, where competition is high, but the laughter is guaranteed. This isn't a game for deep strategic thinking, but rather for quick reflexes and creativity in delivering the message. If you enjoy watching your friends desperately trying to imitate a famous personality in 30 seconds, this is the game for you!
