Jam Pack Jam from the award-winning Cranium offers hours of explosive fun! Recommended for kids ages six and up, this high-energy game is a race against the clock as players attempt to pack the trunk of a toy car before it pops open.

How to Play
An interesting twist on high-intensity children's games, Jam Pack Jam is a cross between a 3-D puzzle and a beat-the-clock board game. It only takes two people to play -- but more can join in the fun.

Try to pack the trunk with as many fun and wacky items as possible. View larger.

Unlike many games that aim at specific skill sets, this Cranium game creates positive excitement for all kids. The object of the game is simple -- to fit as many fun items as possible, of all shapes and sizes, into the trunk before time runs out. On each turn, players say the number of objects they think they can precariously pack. When time's up, the trunk shoots everything out the doors -- filling the room with laughter.

Everything -- Even the Kitchen Sink
With 14 hilarious objects you'd find in a cartoon, Jam Pack Jam includes a birthday cake, a cactus, a skateboard, even a kitchen sink. Made with durable plastic, the car and the trunk items are child-safe and can stand up to long hours of play -- and all the explosions! The game also comes with 35 cards and a score pad.

This review is from: Cranium Jam Pack Jam Game (Toy)

I bought this toy as a gift for my 4 year old for him and his 6 year old brother to play. Well, the entire family got in on the action and it was lots of fun. The car is durable, but make sure you keep the enclosed bag for the cards and the items to pack or else.... Not a superior learning game but it does require some concentration and fine motor skills to pack all of the items in the trunk before time runs out. Overall, I would recommend this toy! It got lots of laughs on a rainy day.

This review is from: Cranium Jam Pack Jam Game (Toy)

Being a big fan of Cranium products, I bought this game for my 8 year old for her birthday and WOW! it brought everyone from 5 years old to 65 to the table and/or floor to stuff the parts in the trunk before the time ran out! great fun and laughs! love that there is a bag for all parts. the kids made up versions of the game within days, and then used the van and parts for pretend play as well. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!

Got this game for the family for christmas. The idea is a good one but I think the makers fell short of "completing" the game which could have been alot better. After one game we found out that it would be more fun if we added to the game. We gave different point values (1, 2, and 3) to each piece and gave a bonus if you were able to use all of your cards. This made the game more competitive and fun for everyone. in our first game you would see us shying away from the bg yellow chair and in the second game when it was worth 3 points and a possible bonus we got creative on how to use it.

I think the inventors dropped the ball on what a really good game this could have been. Once we altered it, it was alot of fun!
