Cranium Wow Game

Cranium Wow Game




The classic game of Cranium just got an upgrade. Cranium Wow is the latest addition to the fast-paced, addictive, and downright fun family of games that manages to uncover a player’s talents–or lack thereof. Similar to its older sibling, Wow’s objective is to move around the board until you’ve reached Cranium Central, where your team completes its final activities to claim victory.

A box chock full of at least 2,172 laughs.

Of course, advancing to the center of the board is where all the fun is had. Teams must work together to answer, sketch, sculpt, solve, act, hum, and more. Four card decks with 600 cards and 15 activities dictate what must be done in order to move forward–and make everyone laugh out loud. One of the great things about Cranium games is how much fun they make it to discover new talents among friends and family. With something for the artist, brainiac, actor, and wordsmith, it’s guaranteed to be a good time.

Maybe you’ve always wanted to use your best friend as a puppet to act out “milking a cow.” Or perhaps you want to prove you can draw “bed head” with your eyes closed. You might be eager to show off your vast knowledge of “The Hoff,” YouTube, and which came first, the toaster or sliced bread. If any of these are true, you should play Cranium Wow very soon. Why keep those hidden talents hidden when they’re so impressive?

Additional vinyl movers are sold separately.

Cranium Wow has introduced another fanciful twist on this game. While the box includes four colorful vinyl movers, there are a total of 12 out there to be collected. Each one is sold separately, has its own profile, and comes with a hat or hairdo that can be switched among any of the other movers. This means that the people you play with most frequently can have personalized movers to match their own personalities. Wow!

5 Stars very fun game
it is a very fun game, but need to know a lot of american culture and it may be kinda tough for people that havent grown up in the US; anyway, my family, friends and I have had a lot of fun playing it

5 Stars FUN!
This game is a blast to play with some close friends or family members during the holidays!

5 Stars WOW!
We love this game!!

As a family of 5, it gets a little old playing life or monopoly! This set is visually appealing to us and our older two children (ages 9 & 11). The 2 year old tries to play as well. It has been a little challenging for the young ones, however, we don’t have to skip too many cards to get to one they understand, and it really brings out their talents and skills, in a really fun environment! This game has brought out lots of support for family members, and is helping the kids feel comfortable with themselves, and to not be afraid to be themselves and act silly with the rest of us!

A very unique set. The mover pieces are just so cool!!

Even the price tag, for you bargain shoppers, is quiet good. We have a couple of more up-scale games that had a heavier price tag than most family games, but this one has them all beat, hands down. It’s worth every penny.

5 Stars The perfect party game
I love this game so much that I bring it to small parties whenever I can. I’ve played the original cranium game, but I like this one so much better because it is more current and “hip”. The only downfall to this is that after a few years, what was considered “cool” when the game was created is now out of date. Nevertheless, most of the aspects of this game is timeless and that is what makes it great. Much fun and my favorite board game by far.

5 Stars Its good
It is just a set of new cards to the original Cranium game. If you like that one (which is great) you will like this one.
