Customer Review: Not as good as most other Cranium products




I purchased this product for a long (read 20 hour) car trip. I wanted something other than DVDs to keep our 5 & 7 year old busy. This is not a toy I would recommend for the car. (I also purchased a Cranium Wonder Works Super Recorder and I would give it 5+ stars - highly recommended!) The 7 year old could work the recorder ok...but as other reviewers stated, there just isn't enough time to speak. The eraser and the markers constantly pop out and fall on the floor and then you hear "MOM...". Not much you can do about it when you are driving. The stickers will not stay on the paper in the book, but hey, they made great window decorations. If you do purchase this product for travel - one word of warning. I think the package said batteries included, but they are for demonstration only. The batteries gave way quickly - good thing to replace them before use, or take some backups.




Customer Review: Lots of laughs




My kids, 4 and 7, love this book, but they don't narrate stories, they just record themselves being silly. They also like using the dry erase pens. The stickers aren't sticky and are a complete waste of time. Overall it's a good toy; it keeps them busy, and they aren't killing each other. In my house that's success!

Customer Review: Great fun every time




This is my favorite game. Everytime i get anyone to play games with me, i pull this one out. The questions are fun and each time we get to know something unique or interesting about others. Unlike some of the other cranium games, this one is easy and fast, so there's no problem with pre-teens playing with adults--no one has an unfair advantage, everyone is equally likely to do well and/or win.




Customer Review: Extremley Enjoyable




This was bought as a gift for my sisters family. They love the game, because not only does it get their son (11) away from the video games and tv, but you can play a round in a reasonable amount of time. This game is pull out after family get togethers as a means of enjoying family time together. And you learn alot about each other.
