Our Editorial Review
Product Description Let's face facts. There comes a time when we all need to find the right form of words. Or when saying things in the wrong order could start a rather unpleasant civil war or get you into some other form or extremely serious trouble. Fret no longer. With Say What? you can practice unjumbling some of the world's most famous - and infamous - phrases and sayings to your heart's content. Over 300 famous phrases from popular culture (apparently that's tv, movies, music and suchlike) are pre-stored to fox you in no uncertain style. 3 skill levels and 5 shuffle modes help twist the phrases still further - and really pile on the agony. And full electronic scoring helps keep check of who's best able to unmangle the English language, and who needs to step back into remedial class for a swift but firm caning across the buttocks. It might look like an alien marital aid, but take our word that it's been through the most rigorous assessment process at gadgetshop HQ. And everyone who's had a chance to manipulate its balls has come back with a smile on their face. And all strictly in the interests of science. You should also note that it was invented by Americans, the undisputed world champions of mangling our beautiful mother tongue. So you can fiendishly assured rest difficult that will be it.

Another fabulous Game from Radica: who never let you down! Posted 15 April 2008
This is a great Game of memory and good listening ability.
Simple phrases and sayings that one would think easy to recall, but what leads to the confusion, is remembering where you heard which word and under which light of that particular phrase!
As always, this is another great quality Game from Radica:
Highly recommended fun!
Great game ... with one little "but" Posted 11 January 2008
Found instructions a little lacking in describing exactly what you have to do (in fact I almost returned game as defective thinking it wasn't recognising a correct sequence). Once we figured it out it seemed obvious but I still think its a pretty basic oversight in an instruction leaflet. My little "but" aside we've had some great games. It is challenging without being impossible and really is fun for all the family. Can't really comment on durability because we've only had it a few weeks, but it seems robust enough.
Compulsive Christmas fun! Posted 14 December 2007
Have just bought this game and we are already hooked. It's great fun trying to unscramble the phrases, with the time allowance (or guess allowance) going down each time. You can vary the skill level so that younger members of the family can play too. Educationally, it's a great toy for exercising memory and sequencing skills and I would use this with my students at college for a bit of light-hearted fun.
Ball juggling mind games Posted 31 October 2007
I can't figure out how it works but each of the five balls is given part of a popular phrase. All you have to do is get them in the right order. Simple. Or so you'd think - it's against the clock or with limited guesses. Nothing like extra pressure to muddle an already confused mind.
Best thing is that it's really easy to work out the mechanics of the game - even for my 6 year old! The phrases are a mix of tv/movie, pop and popular sayings and seem fairly general. The difficult bit is remembering which ball is which part of the phrase and placing it in the right sequence in the time.
Much recommended as a party / family thing to do for a few minutes, as up to 5 can play. I bought it for a Christmas present - but as my daughter said ' why do we give away all the best toys?'- I'm keeping it!
Enjoy
