## What is Umm?

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.
