Umm: Super Simple Word Game – Entertainment Game Review
Umm: Super Simple Word Game is a Entertainment/Word/Trivia game from Big Potato Ltd., first launched in 17th December 2015.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 64+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Umm: Super Simple Word Game Stand Out
Welcome to Umm. The super-simple riddle game with rubbish pictures.
A baseball cap, a tin can, the number 10 and what looks like a small bird. Somewhere within these drawings, there’s the name of a famous fictional character… if only you could figure out who? Containing 300 different riddles and over 450 terrible doodles, this highly addictive puzzle game will leave you repeating the same word over and over again: “…Umm”.
One day we took our artist to a cafe across the road and began to shout out random objects; she would have 30 seconds to draw each group of objects before they ended up in the app. The result: lots of scrap paper, lots of swearing and a very fun game.
With six different categories, these brainteasers can go from simple to tricky in just a few short levels. Want to solve the riddle? The first step is figuring out what those drawings are!
The next challenge from the studio that bought you Bucket of Doom and Obama Llama.
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
This game is fun, and makes you think.
Great timewaster, puzzles are clever.
So far it's pretty cool, could use more hints though.
The game is fun to play with friends or family. Some levels are very easy and others are real stumpers. The levels do not get progressively harder. In hindsight, we would buy the 260 additional levels without the unlimited skips because you will not get your skips.
Fun game but clues given are wrong. We got the same clue twice on a question. We also got given a letter that wasn't even part of the answer, as a clue. Annoying.
This game was fun for a couple of days until we got to level 40… Then the only option to continue playing is to purchase additional levels. Not worth it, in our opinion.
Great game for passing time and the puzzles are awesome.
Fun game from a great game dev company. Their Boardgames are outstanding as well! If you're fans of the quirkiness of Jackbox party games you're going to love them.
We play when we're bored and have nothing to do it's fun.
Game is pretty awesome! Simple yet entertaining.
Enjoy trying to solve the pictures.
Got time to kill? This is a good game for that.
Pretty good puzzle game that can be challenging but feel smart once you figure what the answers are.
Something silly to keep you occupied. Wish it had more hints and a delete button.
Pretty cool game of riddles. Neat that you can submit your own.
Honestly, the dreadful drawings are exactly what makes this so fun.
This is pretty decent game for when you're waiting to do something or on somebody. 8/10 would play while on the toilet.
As easy as it may seem, it actually makes you use your brain.
It's ok. Passes the time. We like it.
Couldn't even play the game because it wouldn't load.
Fun to play when you're stuck in bed. We do wish you could put the letters in without having to spell the answer in sequence. Other than that it's super fun.
Really fun game and gets the ole noggin working.
Some of them are pretty tough and, and some of the drawings are the best clues, but it's challenging and really a lot of fun.
Download it but u guys should give more free stuff just saying.
Amazing and addicting with original doodle art and writing.
We enjoy word games, so this has been rather fun. The illustrations make it very fun and unique.
We enjoy this game quite a bit, the right amount of challenge, overall it's fun.
It looks quite simple. But, boy o boy, it dusts off the ole grey matter you haven't used in a millennium! Awesome . . . And addictive.
This is a really fun game to pass the time!! And it gets you thinking.
This game is pretty cool but the pictures aren't really the best and it stinks that we can't watch a ad to get more hints but overall we like it.
App is fun, a mix of easy and hard, has not crashed and even with the in-app purchase, it's worth it. As long as the updates keep coming, you can play it for years.
Very original & a lot of fun. Kudos to whoever created this game.
Love the idea, have come across some that don't quite make sense but we've managed to get through them.
It's a fun app, but we wish there was a way to get more hints instead of just buying them or asking via email or social media.
Fun game, but it needs more ways to get skips. Maybe watch an ad for a skip.
Some of these are too vague or the doodles are crap. The one for oasis for example. There should have been something to suggest desert.
We're playing this game with our 8 year old daughter, and we are having a blast! It's easy to use! The puzzles aren't so hard that you spend too long on any one, but just challenging enough.
Cleaver . You have to use your and imagination. We give it.
Awesome game. Very challenging! No bugs or force close issues.
Our new favorite addiction! So good to just clear our mind with a FUN game! By the way, #86 – she spells it KatIE, not Katy! :) Thanks so much for such a cleaver and creative game.
A fun little way to pass the time.
Clever. Frustrating. ADDICTIVE.
We don't like many games. But we like this one.
It's awesome (not really its ok).
Super fun game & awesome illustrations.
Awesome app if you like challenges.
Like it. Very challenging and interesting.
It gets hard but it's a really fun game.
Definitely a great time waster! No ads is great too.
It's worth the download. No Ads either.
