Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Cranium Sounds of the Seahore is a matching and memory game that celebrates the sights and sounds of a day by the sea. Kids hold the Magic Seashell to their ears to hear sounds like the bark of a seal or the horn of a friendly boat. Then they match each sound with a picture on a shell card. Every successful turn is rewarded with a Way to go! or You did it! The game can be played two ways -- a beginner listen-&-match version, with success on every turn, and an advanced memory game for older kids. 2 to 4 players.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible game, December 5, 2006

I bought this game trying to find a fun learning game for my 3 and 5 year old.

Both played this game for 5 minutes and haven't touched it since. The seashell sits on a plastic thing... it took both my 3 year old and 5 year old several attempts to sit it on there right to play the sound back. If you accidentally bumped the seashell off the plastic holder, it's starting a new turn.

Also, the little shells that are to plug into the seashell... the kids kept lifting up the seashell to plug and unplug them, thus causing the seashell to start over.

I'm actually really surprised this game made it onto shelves... stay far far away from it. It's just not a fun game at all, and I wouldn't call it a learning game either.

1.0 out of 5 stars Skip this one, March 8, 2007

As a long time fan of Cranium, this is a major disappointment. As the other reviewers have written, it is boring, frustrating, and doesn't work all the time. It was a complete waste of money. Skip this game altogether.

4.0 out of 5 stars My son likes it quite a bit, December 12, 2006

My son is 3 1/2, he got the hang of the game after I played it with him a few times. It's nice because it makes him listen for the sound, and then match up the sound with the shells.

We got it about 6 wks. ago, and he still plays with it.
