What our customer's say!

"It was a lot of fun!", The very first time this game was played in our home was at a family gathering and only the teenagers played. They were able to put down their cell phones and ipods long enough to enjoy face to face time with other family members. They had so much fun that they wanted to play again and include the adults (go figure!). After that it became a favorite for family nights and at family functions. It challenges you with words (word scramble, meanings, and spelling), trivia questions, creativity (drawings, sculpting with clay) and performing (acting like a famous person, charades). You never know what you have to do next!

"Cranium", This is a great game for small or large groups and it is always a hit at my parties. Definitely a must have for any body's game collection!

"Awesome game", This game is fun for kids, adults, families and friends. It has something for everyone and lets people shine in the areas they are good at. I love it.

"Cranium", I recommend this game 100%. Its a bit challenging but it is alot of fun. I played this with a group of girlfriends and they all loved it!!!! My only recommendation is to make sure you have down the rules before you start playing... It can get a bit confusing as your playing, u kind of have to check the rules several times if you dont really understand it the first time...


"This game is great!", I really like this game. It is a lot of fun and very amusing. You need a few people to play it, and it is by far the best game ever. There are four categories for the questions and each one is a lot of fun.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Great Family Game!!", I bought this for my girlfriend for Christmas, as she dropped a hint in Starbucks that she wanted the version that allowed the sculpting. I figured, why should I pay $20 for a small piece of the game in Starbucks, when I can get the entire game for her here, for 1/2 the price?

She loved it, and we took it to her family's house for Christmas... Two teams (8 people) huddled around it at the formal dining table for about an hour and a half. It's a great group game, a great challenge.

The instructions could be a bit better, but the game is amazing, fun & time consuming (in a good way) nonetheless!

"It could be fun......I guess", Christmas gift for my daughter. I think she's used it twice.

"a lot of fun for all ages and educational", a lot of fun for kids and adults to play separate or together as a family. very educational.

"Unspectacular, but kind of fun. ", Let's get this straight, right now. The game of Cranium will most likely never reach my list of favorites. But this game CAN be a very fun play in the right setting. This is a party game (a genre which I am not overly fond of) that blatantly 'borrows' ideas from many other games. But because the categories are so diverse, this game can actually succeed in ways that some of the games that it imitates could not.

The components are nothing to write home about, though the retro-modern look of the game is pretty cool. The game board outer track is reminiscent of Pictionary, while the little boxes of cards look more like Trivial Pursuit. The other 'active' component is a glob of purple Play-Doh for 'sculpting'. The control mechanisms are an 8-sided multi-colored die controls the movement of your little plastic person tokens, and a one-minute sand timer.

The board is laid out with two tracks that meet in four separate places. When on the spaces where the tracks meet, if you answer your FIRST question correctly, you may take the fast track (fewer spaces) to the next one. If not, you take the slower track. When you reach the end of the track you graduate to the center of the board where you must correctly answer one challenge in each of the four areas, followed by a final category that is picked by your opponents (another mechanic cloned from Trivial Pursuit).

This game is made to be played by teams, not individuals. Through the course of the game each team will be called on to draw, sculpt, hum, imitate, play charades, and think through a variety of brain teasers. Most of the challenges are pretty easy, with a couple of tricky ones thrown in for good measure. Because the challenges vary so widely, most team players will have a chance to shine in some areas. For this reason, the game is engaging to more people than games like Trivial Pursuit or Win, Lose, or Draw, which concentrate on one activity only.

But be forewarned: If you have a group of gamers that regularly convene to tax their minds on games of strategy or conquest, this game will not see the light of day too often. It?s a bit long to use as a ?filler?, and a bit too lightweight to be used as a main game. We had a special night where we took out a bunch of games, and this was one of four that we played (along with Lost Cities, Carcassonne, and a single hand of Uno). We all enjoyed Cranium that night, but no one was suggesting it for our next meeting.



"great for families", I brought this game home for the holidays. Every member of my family from ages 6 to 79 enjoyed playing together. It's best for teams, but can be fun for smaller groups as well. The tasks are simple enough for younger kids, and the questions are hard enough to keep adults on their toes. If you plan on playing for several rounds it might be best to go ahead and order additional sets of question cards. You run through the cards fairly quickly-- after 9 or 10 games we had seen them all.
