Product Description
For 4 or more playersCranium is an amazing party game that brings friends and family together through 14 fun and riotous activities. You won't believe what your friends and family can do as your team hums, whistles, sketches, sculpts, acts, puzzles and even spells backwards to win. Cranium's outrageous activities are organized into four card decks: Creative Cat will have you sketching, sculpting with clay and even drawing with your eyes closed. Star Performer asks you to hum or whistle a tune, impersonate a celebrity or act out a clue. Word Worm requests you unscramble words, spell challenging ones, guess definitions, fill in the blanks and even spell backwards. Data Head stimulates your gray matter by testing your knowledge of trivia with provocative true/false queries and challenging multiple choice questions.
Amazon Review
Spell a word backwards, hum a tune, answer a multiple-choice question, draw with your eyes closed, and more when you play Cranium. Unlike games that focus on only a few skills, Cranium offers 14 talent-tapping activities designed to bring out the best in you and your friends.
Cranium offers 14 talent-tapping activities designed to bring out the best in you and your friends.
| Cards from four decks, color-coded to match each of the crazy characters--Star Performer, Creative Cat, Data Head, and Word Worm--describe activities that teams must complete in order to advance around the board. If you choose a Sculptorades card from the Creative Cat deck, for example, you might be asked to sculpt a hamburger from lemon-scented Cranium Clay while your teammates try to guess what you're creating. To win the game, teams have to make it to Cranium Central--the large purple brain in the center of the board--and then successfully complete one activity from each of the four decks. The result is that the team with the best combination of abilities comes out on top. With its wonderfully diverse set of activities and top-notch design (artwork by illustrator Gary Baseman decorates the colorful board and decks of cards), Cranium offers the best of all board game experiences--and it's a whole lot of fun, too! (For 4 or more players)

 Brain Power January 7, 2009
We bought this as a gift for our recent college grad daughter... has provided several "forced family fun" hours for both us and other families..... great selection... will likely buy others in the CRANIUM series.
 Fun for me December 31, 2008
This game was a little difficult for my fourteen-year-old brother who didn't know many of the songs, people, and events of older generations. For myself, my husband, my mom, etc., it was fabulous fun. I learned that I spell better backwards than forwards! We will definitely pull it out again at the next family event.
 Good game for kids, but too easy for us to play December 6, 2008
I think this game has potential, but it was way too easy to play. We had no trouble answering the questions, so it just became boring after a while.
I think this would be a great game for young people (maybe 8-20?).
Great game (with some limits for families with kids) September 24, 2008
We really enjoy this game at our house. We've played it a number of times with different guests and we always have a lot of fun with it. There is a lot of action between drawing and acting and singing. The only problem is that since my kids are in their early teens, there are just way too many songs that they don't know. We handle that by splitting teams so each team has a mixed generation. When I know that the kids won't know a song, then we just pull another card. The sculpting and drawing and charades are probably our favorite part.
Over all, I'm really glad we bought this game. We have loads of fun, squealing and laughing as we rush to beat the timer. I would recommend this as a great way to spend time together.
It was a lot of fun! August 13, 2008
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!
