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.

My 5 year old daughter loves this game. I gave it to her on Thanksgiving and we have played in everyday, several times per day, since then. She loves the "Combo" card challenges - drawing, acting, sculpting, and most of all running around the house to retrieve specified items. The "Solo" cards offer thought questions to her. I would buy this again!!!

This game is soooooo much fun. We (10 year old, my husband, and I) played this game for three hours straight and did not get bored or tired of repetition. Cadoo has lots of variety and is very fun. We had lots of laughs. It's perfect for a night in!

Cadoo seemed like a really fun game. The only problem is when you've played enough times, you remember the cards so it it's not quite as fun. My girls liked it initially, but it seemed to get old quick.

Santa brought this game to my 5 year old son. While he needs help reading some of the cards, he just loves it. His 6 year old sister wishes Santa brought it for her. It forces the use of your imagination and aids in decision making. And, it's just fun and funny! Good family fun, we just love this game.

We got this game for our 6 year old for Christmas. We played it for the first time tonight with our 6 and 9 year old daughters and it was a lot of fun! There aren't many kid games that I'd play again and again but this is one. It's hilarious to see what the kids come up with when sculpting and doing charades. But the best part is seeing Dad running around grabbing things with his toes!

Bought as Christmas present for nephew. He had wanted a kid's version game of Cranium since the original was too hard for him (he is 9). We had a lot of fun playing it over the holidays. It is geared more towards kids, but the adults had fun with it too.

Really good fun, kids and adults enjoyed this game. Mixture of pictionary, charades, play-do creating and then go find really good family fun
