This has been an incredibly fun game for our family - everyone from mom, dad (me), nephew (15), two daughters (10 and 8) and our son (4). You are dealt cards with different things, activities, colors, etc. on them, ranging from American Idol to the wilderness to college football to ice cream sundaes. You select the one or two that you think the person who is "it" (which alternates each turn) will like best and then that person rates the selections and points are awarded based on the rating (from best to least). The kids go nuts when they think they have one that is perfect and it really is a lot of fun to see how well you know each other and how everyone (especially the kids) different things. It also plays fast, so you can get in one quick game (which consists of a few rounds), or play several games in a relatively short amount of time. If you have kids that can't read yet, someone simply whispers the choices to them each turn. It is the best family game that we own and I give it a HUGE recommendation!

I purchased this game at Thanksgiving to play with our grandchildren (ages 6 & 10). It was the first game they wanted to play at Christmas time. Even the adults enjoyed playing...a good value...and lots of fun.

One of the few games the entire family loves to play together. Fun way to see how much you know about the other players. Relatively short rounds, so you can play a complete game even if you don't have a lot of time.

Our family of 4 (we have two boys 12 & 8) first played this game while staying in a hotel where you could check out games. We played this one and Ziggity, also by Cranium. We ended up purchasing both.

Each player, except the Whoozit (everyone takes turns being the Whoozit), draws a certain number of cards. They choose one card from their hand they think the Whoozit likes the best and inserts that card in a sleeve. The Whoozit takes all cards from the sleeve and ranks the cards in order of their preference and points are allocated to each player based on the ranking.

The pluses to this game are:
* rounds are short - it doesn't take long to play, but you can always play more rounds to continue the fun

* it's easy to catch onto, which makes it appropriate for all ages (given younger children can read the cards). I suppose a non-reading child could even play with some assistance, but we haven't tried it.

* there is a wide variety of topics on the cards - things one might not consider and it just might spark some conversation!

The negatives are: NONE!

My parents came over last night and played this game with our family (there were 6 of us, which is the maximum number of players). Usually we can't get them to play games with us, but this one drew them in. It was easy to understand and entertaining as well. I highly recommend this game.

We recently went over to a friend's house for dinner. We didn't know eachother really well, but they brought out this game and we had a blast. I can see this would be a fun game for our family and future dinner guests as well. I plan to purchase!

My family loves to play games and I gave my daughter this game for Christmas. It was great fun to play! We are all adults but I think this game would be fun for all ages.

Got this game for Christmas a couple of years ago - loved it! Played with a 7 year old and an 85 year old as well as various ages inbetween - all loved it and lots of laughs. Easy to get started and the rounds are fast for those with attention issues. Bought 9 sets of the game to use as an "ice-breaker" session at a departmental meeting. 50+ people in the room. Spent 5 minutes teaching someone at each table how to play and let them loose. Everyone had a great time and the winners at each table got to keep the game. Got asked a lot where I bought them because people enjoyed it and wanted to get for their personal use. High marks!

This is a great game! In this game, you try to guess what people like and you keep score by using little plastic tokens. The only bad thing is that there are only a few tokens so the game is to short but I made my own tokens out of paper so now it lasts longer. I recommend it for ages 7-11 because there is some reading.

Great game! It really gets the players to think about others and what they like. We've started playing in the car, just thinking of each others favorite things. The cards have suggestions that one might not normally think of, and scoring is really optional. Lots of fun!

This is a fun game for when family comes in from out of town because it is a "get to know you better" kind of game that stimulates everyones interest and makes you say "REALLY" some times. I have been married to my wife for 12 years and thought I knew everything until we played this game. Good TImes!!!
