This game is perfect for those who are looking for a fun challenge that is lacking in the 'cheese' factor. There are four sections that test and utilize different parts of the brain: music/acting, word games/spelling, drawing/clay, and trivia/analytical challenges. The best part it the manufacturers make Booster packs to add/update the game so you're not playing the same thing over and over.

I borrowed this game from a friend. We played it with a mixed age group...15 to 50. It was so much fun that four of the people playing went out and bought it the next day. Two of them being adults and two of them teenagers. We plan on getting together twice a month to play. I recommend this for bigger groups. We usually have about 12 playing. We are looking forward to our next game.

This is one of the most fun games I have ever played. It has a little of something for everyone, so everyone can enjoy it. People who enjoy art will love sculpting with the clay and drawing, hams will love playing charades and humming tunes, technical people will like answering mind bending trivia questions, and the word problems might stump even the most seasoned language lovers. This game is most fun when you have a lot of people to play with, making it a great pick for a party or holiday get together. It's definitely worth the price and you're guaranteed to have hours of fun with it!

I have had this game for 3 years now and it's always a hit. Anywhere we go, our friends and family always tell us to bring the game! There are so many cards in each category that you never get the same questions twice. It is so much fun to see adults acting things out, humming and singing, and drawing with their eyes closed! It's also fun to see how smart some people really are! I highly recommend buying this game for anyone on your shopping list!

Last christmas I purchased this game and it was great! My family and I wouldn't stop playing! We absolutely love doing the star performance and the drawing and sculpting. We enjoyed this game so much we've purchased the newer editions since we've played all the cards to this game already :)

My husband and I often get togehter with other couples to play board games. This one seems to be our favorite when there is 3 or more couples around to play. We play Guys vs. girls (girls always winning of course). There is a little something we each can do to contribute to winning the game. So it gives you a sense of worth. This game is TONS of fun [...]

Cranium is one of the best family games I've run into in a long time! I got it for my daughter's birthday last year and it has become THE game of choice for our friends and relatives at parties. You can't help but laugh at the crazy stunts you have to do... and when the time is running out, it gets even better. Great game! Great fun!
