Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

Cranium is the outrageously fun, smash-hit board game that brings friends together through a variety of activities that celebrate the whole brain. Whether you're an aspiring actor, artist, data hound, or wordsmith, Cranium gives you and your team a moment to shine. You will not believe what your friends can do!
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)

good game, but a lot of luck involved - Reviewed on 2009-04-21

I really like the star performer and the drawing section, but the word and data sections are really a lot of luck, if you get a question you know that you win, but if you don't there is not a lot you can do about it. Still a fun game to play. I would still like to try the new edition, maybe there have been some improvements.

I play this game with friends over 65 and it is fun because it challenges the mind and makes for a lot of laugher.
Great game for adults. - Reviewed on 2009-01-15

This is a great game for a group of adults. I say this because some of the questions are from things from the 80' 90' and some from before. We played a lot in christmas and had a blast although we noticed that some people who had played the game before new the answers to questions that were just to strange for anyone in the group to know. I found now that to avoid that cranium has some card packages you can buy to update your game!! Thats a great idea! Loving cranium just bought the WOW version of the game, as soon as we play it I will review it also.

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.
