Move over Charades, you’ve had your time in the spotlight. There’s a new party game in town and honestly? It’s as unhinged as it is brilliant. It’s called That Sound Game Family Edition, and trust me, once you play, there’s no going back.
This game is pure chaos in the best possible way. Imagine your entire family flapping, squeaking, mooing and yodelling their way through game night like it’s totally normal. Spoiler: it’s not. But somehow, That Sound Game Family Edition makes it feel like it should be.
It’s loud. It’s fast. And it has absolutely no regard for your dignity. Which, let’s be honest, is kind of the point.
Hands behind your back and leave your dignity at the door
This chaotic little gem was born right here in Melbourne during the lockdowns (because of course we had to invent new ways to entertain ourselves while stuck inside with our loved ones). Created by two local legends, Natalie Delaney-John and Camille Jasson, That Sound Game has gone absolutely gangbusters.
Since its 2023 launch, it’s sold over 125,000 units, won the Australian Toy Association’s “Game of the Year”, and somehow made flapping your arms and squawking like a chicken completely normal dinner party behaviour.

What Is That Sound Game, I hear you ask?
Picture this: 325 category cards. Two teams. A one-minute timer. And there’s you, stuck making weird noises while trying to get your team to guess words—without talking, miming or using your hands. Yep, your hands stay locked behind your back while your inner sound machine takes centre stage.
You’ve got 60 seconds to honk like a goose, buzz like a bee, or channel your inner broken vacuum cleaner. And if you’re someone who “talks with their hands”? Good luck, darling. You’re in for a struggle.
It’s the kind of game that starts off with polite giggles and ends with people doubled over, wheezing, and demanding a rematch.
It’s the kind of fast-paced, hilarious chaos that has everyone in stitches. You don’t need acting skills or a PhD in party games, just a willingness to make a bit of a goose of yourself. And for just $29, it’s endless fun. Whether you’re playing with the kids, your friends, or the whole extended fam, That Sound Game Family Edition turns even the shyest players into giggling sound machines.
Why Are We So Obsessed?
Because it’s fun. Like, actual belly-laugh, snort-out-loud, everyone-wants-another-round kind of fun. It’s screen-free (hallelujah), family-friendly, and doesn’t require a charger, update, or Wi-Fi. It’s the antidote to boring nights, endless scrolling, and arguing over what to watch on Netflix.
Whether it’s Christmas Eve, a rainy Sunday, or just a random Tuesday night where no one can agree on what to do, That Sound Game Family Edition saves the day. It’s basically your golden ticket to getting even the grumpiest relative to let loose and squeak like a rubber chicken.
Forget Monopoly meltdowns and Uno shade. This is the new king of game night.
Where can you get your hands on it?
That Sound Game Family Edition is stocked at Kmart and Target, just casually waiting to bring the noise to your next get-together. For $29, it’s the ultimate “throw it in the trolley” no-brainer that delivers way more laughs than it should legally be allowed to.
Planning for the holidays? Hosting a family dinner? Need revenge on a sibling who gifted your kids a drum set? This. Is. It.
You could be aged 15, 85, or somewhere in between—this game doesn’t care. It will drag your whole crew into the kind of silly, side-splitting chaos that you’ll be talking about for weeks.
So if your dinner table isn’t full of people honking, squeaking, and yodelling their way through game night … honestly, what are you even doing?
Do yourself a favour—grab yourself a copy of That Sound Game Family Edition today and bring the noise to your next family hang. You’ll never look at party games the same again.
