Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Cranium Cadoo is the outrageously fun game designed especially for kids. With a variety of hilarious activities, Cadoo gets kids thinking, creating, giggling, and grinning as they try to get four tokens in a row to win. Can you sculpt a taco? Act out a hula dancer? Think of a word that means to bounce a basketball and to drip milk from your chin? Which is strongest for its size: an ant, a human, or a chimp? Whether kids love to act, puzzle, sketch, sculpt, or even crack secret codes, Cadoo has something for them. Two or more kids will have a blast playing Cadoo -- even grown-ups will love to play and show what they can do! Cranium Cadoo earned the 2002 Game of the Year award from the Toy Industry Association, the Platinum Best Toy Award -- the highest honor -- from the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio and the Parents' Choice Gold Award. For 2 or more players, ages 7 and up.

This is a great game. Any child (that can read) will love this game. My teen will happily join in with the younger kids. It is a great game for parents to play with kids because being an adult is not much of an advantage and this game is not boring (like Go Fish or Hungry Hippos). Every time you play the game it is different and the more players the better. If we have more than 4, we just make teams - very fun and interactive.

However, if you don't watch much TV, there will be some questions you can't answer as a few of the trivia questions about popular kids TV shows. We haven't came across too many like this yet, but they are in there. Since we wouldn't know the answers, we just treat them as bad luck cards.

I just got this game for my 3rd and 1st grader, and although we have a great time playing it (have played it two nights in a row), I find that the game contradicts itself. Some of the tasks require quite a bit of fine motor skills, like sculpting with the clay, and drawing, and yet the questions and answers are way too easy. It requires the skills of older kids, but the answers are easily guessed by them. I think this game would be excellent, if you could get a new set of cards with a higher difficulty level. I've seen a separate set of cards and clay for sale, but they don't seem to advertise if they are more difficult or not. Otherwise, this game is awesome and so much fun. Great for younger kids (6-7 year olds) who have good dexterity and drawing skills.

What I especially like about this game was that our entire family was able to participate. Some of the questions were a little too easy for my 6th and 8th grader, but our 2nd grader loved it! The older children were more challenged by the sculptures, and they all loved running around the house and finding the required items before the timer went off. I rated it lower for durability because it is apparent that the clay will not last forever, and I know that eventually we will know all the answers to the questions on the cards...then what? Overall, though, this was a great value for the price and our family will all be able to enjoy it together.
