Toys and Games Reviews of Cranium Zooreeka
Customer Review: Fun for everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very simple but challenging game that the whole family can enjoy. The object is to build a zoo with four habitats, and you have to collect cards (for food, animals, and shelter) while going around the board, eventually trading the cards for habitats. It teaches counting and evaluating skills as well as a bit of understanding about animals. It's lots of fun, and even though the age-range is 8 and over, my 4-yr-old enjoys it too (albeit with some math and reading help from the other players). I even find myself asking my 7-yr-old if he wants to play it with me. Chalk up another one for Cranium!Customer Review: Zoo Fun!

My first grader loves this game. She works on her reading skills by reading the cards all by herself. She's understanding the value relationships between a food card, animal card or shelter card and the different combinations that can get her a new habitat for her zoo. I like that she takes more chances with her predictions (not understanding dice probability helps) and she makes out better than I do most of the time. Luck is a huge part of this game but there is some strategy in making your predictions. This game is definitely 6-year old appropriate. Lots of fun in our household.Customer Review: Just played it tonight

The kids got this last Christmas, and we finally got it out to play! It's a very pleasant game which my 10, 7, and 5 year olds liked a lot. It seemed a little overwhelming at first with all the cards, but the instructions were easy to follow. We were actively playing within 5 minutes. The game took about 20 minutes to get to a winner, but of course we kept going for 2nd, 3rd and last (me.) We have 6 kids and sometimes games can be a chore for me as a parent to play -- this one wasn't. I won't groan under my breath when they ask to play again!Customer Review: Fabulous Game! 6 & 8 yr olds love it!

Some of the Cranium products are iffy - confusing, little pieces, etc. This one is definitely a hit! Everyone gets to play each turn so it moves quickly. Basic math is involved so it requires thinking and it's just a fun game! You can team up with little ones if needed but no one seems to get bored.
The family enjoys it and the kids love to play it with their friends. We've given several copies as gifts and have gotten follow up calls from parents to thank us!
Customer Review: Fun and Different
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this game for my daughter's eighth birthday and we have a great time playing it. Not only are you gathering items to trade in for zoo habitats (needed to win the game) but you are also guessing on the roll of a die which is great for learning the concept of probability. The game gets exciting when a player needs something really badly and lands on "Team Up." This allows all players to try to match the roll of the die. When it matches, mayhem ensues. Loved it.
