Toys and Games Reviews of Cranium Family EditionCustomer Review: So much fun we forgot about bedtime! Summary: 5 StarsI bought this game on a whim because I've played Cranium with adults and thought it was great fun. Not only was this a fantastic way for me to have fun with my daughters, husband, and son, but contrary to what another reviewer suggested, this game was *completely* different from adult Cranium- except for the fact that this game is also incredibly fun. We had so much fun playing after dinner the other night that I looked up to discover that we had overshot bedtime by an hour and a half!
This game has a variety of activities you have to complete- a few familiar, but mostly totally new things to do. For example, you do hilarious stunts that make it possible for younger kids to have fun and make their contribution to the game in more than just a patronizing gesture. My team couldn't have won the game had my youngest daughter not been such a whiz at flipping those frogs. The kids also loved to watch my husband and I doing silly things like try to stack the cubes up with our elbows. I haven't laughed so hard with the kids all year! There are all new word games you play with letter dice and fun trivia. There's a great variety in the game- like Cranium- but the cards are totally different... I love that during the game each of my kids got their opportunity to contribute through an activity that they were particularly good at. I can't think of a time when $20 has brough more fun and entertainment to my family. I can't wait to give this to my sisters for Christmas so they can have as much fun with their families.
Customer Review: Receycling the same Cranium activities Summary: 3 StarsThe Family Fun game has the same, recycled Cranium game activities found in the other Cranium games. It's just a new box with a different name. If you want a truly fresh, unique and entertaning game try Rigamarole.
Customer Review: Ultimate Family Game Night! Summary: 5 StarsThis game is SO MUCH FUN! It's *so* hard to get everyone together for a truly interactive experiece... From the moment we started playing, me, my husband and the kids (ages 8, 11, 16) were working together on fun puzzles, laughing with each other, and high-fiving. The variety in the game gave each of our kids the chance to help their team with their special skill... Julie loves to sing and act, Jim Jr. is a whiz with word puzzles, and my husband Dan is an ace with drawing... Even our youngest showed her stuff when it came time to flip the frogs... Too bad you can't go to the Olympics for that!
This game is AMAZING... A must have for any family looking for ways to pull the gang out of the TV for some real human interaction.
