Customer Review: Great game.




The only issue I had was the in tin edition the cranium clay was dried out and hard as a hockey puck. I assume it is because the container it comes in is not air tight.




Customer Review: OMG! The Best Game Ever!!!

Cranium - Cranium Squawkbox Cards Pirate's Passage

Cranium Squawkbox Cards Pirate's Passage


Customer Review: Cranium Squawkbox: Pirate's Passage




Square cards are used to create a layout of paths through a square "ocean" with the box (which is also the goal square of the game) at the center. The players' home islands/ starting squares are at the corners. The game's box is a molded plastic affair containing a voice chip; in turn, players push a button on top to hear a pirate voice give commands such as Rotate a card, Flip a card, Sail the Seas (move one space if you can), etc. First player to reach the treasure with his or her ship pawn is the winner.








Customer Review: Simple fun




This game is so much fun. The ship pieces rip easily though. It would be better if they were plastic. The game can be short or long. It is compact enough for travel. The sound is very good. It is really simple and easy to play. I would buy this game again.

Customer Review: Fun, re-usable book with lots to do!




My daughter LOVES her Cranium Cat Book! We really like the fact that there's so much to do, and that it builds your creativity in fun, varied ways--ways I never even thought of. It's nice that many of the pages are designed to be used with the erasable marker that's included, so you can use them again. Others aren't, but your child can use a pencil to increase the life of those pages. Activities include: word scrambles; mazes of different kinds (one is a supermarket scramble); crossword puzzles; word searches; designing currency; creating your own kingdom, along with a crest, flag, castle, and more; different ways to create the same thing; pictures to complete; creating your own carnival, complete with rides; and more. There are also fun facts on most pages related to the activities you're working on, and many pages include suggestions for fun brain-building activities you can do with a friend outside of the book. A fun pull-out game is also included; it is actually part of the book, so there's nothing extra to store! Along with all of that, in a neat little storage case (also attached to the book!), is a dry-erase marker, a little tub of clay, a stencil, a sand-timer, and game cards and pieces. This is a great way to enrich your creative child, or to get your not-so-creative child thinking in another way. Highly recommended!




Customer Review: Outrageously Awesome at Keeping your Kid Occupied!




My 7 year old got this book from Santa for Christmas, and LOVES it. He is very artistic, but any child who loves to draw and doodle will love this "book".






It has lots of rewritable pages and a dry-erase marker(with eraser!). It also comes with a small pot of cranium "dough" for sculpting. Each page is filled with several theme based activities to get your child's imagination going. For example "Create your own Country" has a list of questions to answer, like What is the official food of your country? What is your country called?, etc. Draw a picture of your country's capital. Finish this drawing of your country's currency.






I love this book as much as my son, just because it keeps him focused and relatively quiet for 30+ minutes at a time. Great for the car!

Cranium Giggle Gear Giggle Goggle Girl


With Cranium Giggle Goggles kids transform into a fun fairy by creating hilarious faces using the magical-sounds tiara and a variety of pretty eye and ear parts! Ages 5+




Customer Review: giggle gear




My girls absolutely loved this game. We also got the mask and the voice modifier creates many giggles. But a caution for parents, it can get kind of loud after a while. So, if you don't have a lot of patience with loud toys don't get the mask too. The goggles are fun though and we have many silly pictures.

Cranium - Cranium Hoopla Game

Cranium Hoopla Game





Cranium Hoopla Game


In this cooperative game, all players are on the same team and share a common goal: to get rid of everyone's cards before the 15-minute Hoopla timer runs out. Players act, draw, and craft hilariously clever clues to get the other players to guess the answers on their cards in these four categories; Tweener, Tounge-tied, Soundstange and Cloodle. In the Tweener category, the player will craft a pair of clues to get the other players to zero in on the answer it's bigger than a gladiator, but smaller than Rome. It's the Coliseum! In Tongue-tied, the player will describe the card they're holding by brainstorming words that all start with the same letter. The letter is 'F' and the answer is Platform Shoes. Funky, footwear, fashionable, fad. In Soundstage the player will create sound effects while acting out the clue. In the Cloodle cards, the player will sketch their clues depicting the cards in their hand. If all of the players get rid of their cards, everybody wins. As each game lasts only 20 minutes, its perfect to take to a friend's house, on a trip, or play a couple of rounds for a longer weekend game. Contains 285 game cards, a 15-minute countdown timer, ten-sided die and customer pad and pencil. For 2 or more players.
