About the game

What you do in a play session

If you are the type of person who constantly quotes movies, hums songs all day, or binges every streaming series available, Speak Geek is your new go-to game. Forget those rigid trivia games where you need to know the exact year of a historical battle; here, mental agility and your pop culture knowledge are the real stars. The premise is simple and addictive: you need to connect a 'Word' card to a 'Theme' card as quickly as possible. The themes revolve around Quotes, Lyrics, and Titles.

In the Quotes category, the range is massive. It could be an iconic line from a blockbuster, a historical speech, a cartoon catchphrase, or even that saying your grandfather insists on repeating at Sunday dinners. The only requirement is that the word drawn from your hand must be present in the quote you provide. For Lyrics, the challenge is to pull from memory a snippet of at least three words from any song you know. Finally, in Titles, you can draw from any piece of pop culture: books, podcasts, TV shows, movies, or even that magazine you read on the go.

Speak Geek shines by being a social and inclusive game. It doesn't matter if you are a hardcore cinephile or just someone who watches whatever is trending; the game levels the playing field through creativity and quick thinking. With support for up to 8 players, it is the perfect choice to liven up a gathering of friends or parties where the vibe needs to be relaxed. It is a quick association exercise that will lead to plenty of laughs, 'how did I not remember that?' moments, and, of course, that healthy competition to see who is the biggest geek in the group. Prepare your voice, clear your memory, and be ready to connect everything you have ever consumed in terms of entertainment. It is a light, fast-paced game that requires zero setup, making it ideal to pull off the shelf and start playing in seconds.
