This game is so much fun!! There are 4 categories that you can play on 3 different board sizes, depending on how long you want to play. I played the original version, but the new categories in this are up to date and a lot of fun. The categories are: Data Head where you must decide if things are true or false, or other such ideas. There is Creative Cat, which is where you must draw with or without your eyes open, or even sculpt with the included "clay". There is Word Play where the people on your team must take turns to spell a word backwards, for example, Mom says "o", sister "g", friend "n", Mom "i", sister "m", friend "a", Mom "l", sister "f" to get the word "flamingo". This is a real card by the way, so practice up!! Word play also has unscramble the words and fill in the blanks. The final category will have you humming or whistling a tune, playing charade like games, or impersonating famous folks. My best recommendation with this game is to have someone from all age groups or someone who is familiar with very current events on each team. I had to impersonate Victoria Beckham and Beyonce, while my sister hummed GnR's Welcome to the Jungle, and my mother-in-law impersonated a back up dancer and zombie.

A super big plus is there is not a lot of rules and for confusing areas we just all settle on a way to play the game and can bend the rules as necessary or not. Totally fun game! Way worth the purchase!!

I bought this game for my sister in law. I have the original cranium which we loved to play. I like the new version better. It seems a little easier but a lot sillier. There is a sideshow card that requires you to use a teammate as a puppet to act out an action. It's hilarious. We had a great time and did not get as frustrated as with the original version.

As someone who has played the original Cranium before many times I was very disappointed to find that the "new" Cranium was far too easy. The questions on this new version seem overly simple compared to the difficulty the old version had. I was not the only one in our group who thought this was the case. This made the game not as fun and challenging as it used to be. Overall pretty disappointed with this version.

Cranium combines all different types of games in one: Trivia, charades, drawing, singing, spelling, etc. Its excellent for a group and the play can last a long time. Great for a snow day! The clay does dry out but is easily replaceable. I've had my game for years and just gave it as a gift!

You will hav tons of fun with this game. My family ages 7-37 played together and all players really enjoyed the different challenges throughout the rounds. Really funny!

We love this game! Whether playing as a family or as a big group of adults, it is always a great time.

I saw this at various retail stores for $25 and couldn't bring myself to pay that much for a game a knew little about but seeing it for around $15 I figured I'd pick it up and give it a shot. Overall the game is definitely a fun time. We play in an 18+ age group and still enjoy the play-doh the most. It is a solid mix words, drawing, acting, sculpting, and trivia. The more players the merrier for this game. I would definitely recommend it you are looking for a new game, an escape from the standard board games.

Ordered this game for couples' game night. Used it one time and already loving it! So much fun and lots of laughs.

The perfect game night for friends and family. Extremely happy with the seller and the entire process. This has become a personal favorite for our friends and family to play along with a short list of others.

Very fun game! good for teenagers and adults! some of the catergories require you to hum, act, or draw--so just make sure you have someone playing who is willing.
