About the game
CollegeHumor is joining forces with Wiggles 3D to bring you the long-awaited home version of their popular game show, Um, Actually! Um, Actually presents you with statements about the fictional worlds of popular movies, TV shows and books. They all sound right... but listen carefully, because each one has a mistake hidden in it somewhere! It's up to you to figure out what's wrong and announce it before anyone else, starting, of course, with the magic phrase: "Um, actually..." But even if you know nothing about Sailor Moon or Star Wars, you'll find yourself making wild guesses, stumbling into answers, and having laughs along the way! Customize your game experience by building your game deck before you play. Select the categories that interest YOU the most: Fantasy, Cartoons, Comics, Sci-Fi, Games, AND MORE! Each game consists of 12 rounds of play: 9 questions, 2 shiny questions, and one real-life skills question. For the regular questions, feel free to butt in with an "Um, Actually" any time you know the answer. For the shiny and real-life skills questions, players will use the whiteboards and markers provided in the game to answer. The ultimate party game, Um, Actually's discussion prompts on each card encourage hilarious conversations, witty banter, and nerding-out over your favorite fandoms. —description from the designer

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Um, Actually… is 25 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Um, Actually… for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Um, Actually… has a complexity rating of 1.6 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
