Don't Say That (Pop Culture: 90s and 2000s) is filled words and phrases from that era.
The Setup
Split into teams of two, three or more. (You can use the Yankee Jim built in random team generator to help you choose teams)
Sit facing each other.
Pick one player to go first.
Set a 60 second timer.
When you set the timer, a quick 5 second countdown with start, then the round begins. If you get a card correct, you click the ✅ . If you say a forbidden word on a card or decide to skip a card, you click the ❌. When the timer is up, the round is over. Your score is automatically calculated and will have the option to review the answers.
How To Play
-
1 main word (the word your team must guess)
-
A list of forbidden words you CANNOT say
Describe the main word to your team without saying:
-
Any forbidden words
-
Any part of the main word
-
Rhymes, abbreviations, or obvious hints. No sound effects either!
Your team shouts guesses out loud.
Someone from an opposing team must watch over the shoulder of the person giving card clues. If they notice that forbidden word has been said, they must call it out and the card explainer must click the ❌ button and move to the next card.
The Catch
If you say a forbidden word or skip a card...
-
❌ 1 point is deducted.
Scoring
-
✅ Correct guess = 1 point
-
❌ Slip up or skip = minus a point
First team to X points wins
(or just play until everyone’s yelling).
