I love my Say What. I leave it out on the coffee table and get a quick game or two when I have a few minutes, or when I'm taking a break from working. When I have guests over its a fun conversation starter, or a good distraction when there is no conversation! Everyone always wants to play a few rounds.

300 Phrases is suprisingly deep, and it's just as fun (or more fun!) to watch as it is to play, kind of like a Nintendo Wii.

I'm a fan of board games, but they can sometimes take too long. "Say What" is great if you can't commit a lot of time and just want something casual for a few minutes up to a half hour or so.

The plastic balls are sturdy and I haven't had any problems yet. I've had it for over a month and I'm still on my first set of 4 AA batteries.

It really is great for grown-ups and kids. There are references from the 1980s up to today, and even if a little kid doesn't know the phrase, they still figure it out through context. A bit of "Back seat driving" makes for a fun group atmosphere.

Highly recommended.

Finally a game for us pop culture people. My son had never heard the saying "the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup", but he laughed when I couldn't unscramble "a scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me." Great fun with a group or on your own. Some real brain exercise.

I saw a user's video and was impressed so I purchased this game. While the concept is cool, the game has a few flaws that I'd like to point out...

Difficulty:
For adults, the game is just too easy, especially if you have a good short-term memory and are good with pop culture. It gets boring after just a few games, even on the harder settings. However, the game was too hard for my 8-year-old. She isn't familiar with most of the pop culture the game referenced. For my 12-year-old, it wasn't stimulating enough and he was quickly bored.

Gameplay:
The gameplay is fun overall but there are a few annoying things. First, there's no way to quickly turn off the game (that I know of anyway). Secondly, even if you have the balls in the correct order when the buzzer ends, it's not counted as correct simply because you didn't have time to push the button. Third, the phrases don't seem to be ranked in difficulty as the time/amount of guesses decreases. Either they should get easier, since you have less time, or they should be harder to challenge you. Lastly, the game should have more rounds, or at least allow you to select how many rounds you want to play.

Suggestions:
It would be nice if a player could select a category, like animated movies. That would help with the gameplay for smaller children.

Overall, it's a fun game to play if you want to kill a few minutes. It's not a game you can play for an hour or more, unless you're easily amused.

Some friends and i were playing this and about 10 minutes into the game it keep making a loud beeping that is suppose to mean the balls are missing, when they weren't. we tried moving the balls around to different spaces but it kept on making that lou beeping. we tried resetting it several times but it still wouldn't work. It was extremely fun while it did work, but i would have to say you should definetly save the receipt for this game in case you have the same problem. in the games instructions it says that if the game malfunction to try resetting it, which tells me it happens a lot.

Our 7 year old daughter requested this game for Christmas and we ordered it, having never heard of it. It's been fun for all of us and for her friends. Sometimes she is not familiar with the original phrases (like, "nobody puts Baby in a corner" from "Dirty Dancing") but she can usually figure it out. I would recommend this product.

This game is a lot of fun. We played this game over the holidays and had a blast. Even the younger members of my family were able to pitch in. It is a hard feat to find a game that young and old will have as much fun playing as they did this game. The only drawback that I can find is that at times it is a little hard to hear. Other than that this game is a great buy!!!!

Even the adults enjoy this challenging table-top game. 80's song titles and lines, along with bookkoodles of famous sayings. Keeps us all laughing and calling out the answers.

Bought this for the kids but I love it more than them. This is a great toy to buy an adult, my mom and mother in law both love it. Here is a gift to buy that aunt or friend, my teenagers like it too, but to hard for my children under age 11. Also my dad is hard of hearing and he can't play it because he can't understand it. It is a fun easy fast game, perfect for the coffee table.

Everyone in the family as well as a few elderly friends thought this game was fun. Kids do have some trouble with some of the sayings because they have never heard them before. One other fault is that the "voice" is a bit muffled and hard to understand sometimes. All of these issues are overcome though so the game is enjoyed by those watching and playing.

Everyone in our house (8 years to adult) loves this game. Once you get started it is hard to stop. Can be played alone or with others. Keeps them busy and mom too.
