Purchase options and add-ons

  • Players are divided into two, three, or four teams; each team picks a mover and puts it on the "Planet Cranium" space. The board is laid out as a circuit, consisting of different color spaces. Each color corresponds to a question card category. Purple "Planet Cranium" spaces give the team their choice of category. The rules of Cranium state that the team with the player whose birthday is coming up next starts the game. Play then continues clockwise to the next team. Card Categories[edit] Creative Cat These blue cards are, as the name suggests, two creative activities. Cloodle cards require a team member to draw on a piece of paper while the other team member(s) attempt to guess the word or phrase, much like Pictionary. Sensosketch cards are the same but the drawer must have their eyes closed. Sculpturades requires one player to mold the included putty into shapes for the other player(s) to guess the word or phrase being sculpted. All of the blue cards have vague hints. Data Head These red cards revolve around, as the name suggests, knowledge of data and facts. Selectaquest cards ask a question and present four possible multiple choice answers, of which the player's team must choose the correct answer. Factoid cards present a question that the player's team must answer outright, and a third type of card requires the player's team to evaluate a statement to determine whether it is true or false.
  • Word Worm These yellow cards are themed around words, spelling, and anagrams. Two types of spelling are involved in this category; one type involves one team member spelling a moderately difficult word (such as vacuum) correctly on the first try without writing down the word. Another type of spelling challenge in Word Worm is Gnilleps; again, a moderately difficult word (such as achieved) must be spelled correctly on the first attempt by one team member with the caveat that they must spell it backwards. Lexicon cards require teams to correctly identify the definition of a word out of four possibilities, usually a relatively unused word such as syzygy or bedizen. Blankout requires the team to use a vague hint to fill in the blank words with only some letters filled in. Finally, Zelpuz requires the player's team to use a vague hint to re-arrange the letters in an anagram to form the correct word or phrase. Star Performer These green cards are themed around acting out clues with a vague hint such as in charades, acting and speaking like a famous person or fictional character but without using proper names, or humming or whistling a popular tune to get your group to guess the song, such as with Hummdingers.
  • Gameplay[edit] On each turn, a team has a chance to complete an activity on one card and advance along the board. If the team is on a purple space (as all teams are on the start space), they can choose the first card from any of the four categories. If they are on a coloured space, the first card from the corresponding category is selected. If the team successfully completes the card they have chosen, the die is then rolled to determine what space the team moves to.Whether the activity is completed successfully or not, the turn always ends after one card. If the team completes an activity successfully before timer runs out, they roll the color-faced die and move to the next space of the color they roll, or to the next Planet Cranium space, whichever is closer. If they roll purple, they go to the next Planet Cranium space. Scenic Path and Fast Track[edit] A team's first activity on a Planet Cranium space, including the start space, determines whether they will take the "scenic path" or the "fast track" to the next Planet Cranium space. If they complete their first activity on a Planet Cranium space successfully before time runs out, they will take the inside fast track to the next Planet Cranium space. If they do not complete their first activity successfully, or if time runs out, they will not be able to take the fast track, and, when they do complete an activity successfully to get off the Planet Cranium space, they will have to take the longer scenic path to the next Planet Cranium space.
  • Club Cranium[edit] On some of the Creative Cat and Star Performer cards, there is a "Club Cranium" symbol. When one of these cards is drawn, every team competes and has one of its members do the activity for them. Acting is to be performed in front of all the teams. Each team may guess the answer by looking at anyone performing. The same applies to sensosketches and cloodles. Whichever team gets it first gets to roll the die and move, and play continues with the team who the Club Cranium card was originally for. If no one guesses the answer before time runs out, no one moves and play continues with the team whose turn it was. If a team gets a Club Cranium card correct while on a Planet Cranium, they may move on the fast track if it was their first activity while on the Planet Cranium; if their first activity on a Planet Cranium is a Club Cranium and they do not win it, they still try for the fast track on their next turn. The only penalty for not getting a Club Cranium right is not being able to take an extra move.
  • Cranium Central[edit] Around the "Cranium Central" space in the center of the board are four black spaces, each with the name of one of the decks on it. Before a team can go into Cranium Central, they must collect one card from each deck by moving around these spaces. When a team reaches the end of the path, they must place their mover on the black space that with the deck name that corresponds to the color of their roll. If they roll purple, they may decide which black space to start on. They continue play in the normal fashion, except that when they complete an activity successfully, they keep the card, and instead of rolling the die, they move clockwise to the next black space. Once the team has a card from each deck, they may move into Cranium Central. Once they are in Cranium Central, on their turn, they will receive an activity from the deck that the other teams decide on. If they do not complete the activity successfully, they must wait until their next turn, when the other teams will pick another activity for them, either from the same deck or another deck. Once the team successfully completes an activity while in Cranium Central, they have won the game.

      By far this is the most fun game we have ever played. Its easy to learn if you just read the instructions. It comes with fun quality game pieces- not just cheap plastic pieces at all! Regular board size game. Id say any age that can play charades can play this game. Probably better suited for older teens and adults. A couple categories may be difficult for younger kids (under 12 years old) but still playable if you want to include them.
      Our all time favorite game for sure

      So this game was used when I purchased it (it is normally $60 and I bought it used for $19). The clay included in the game was hard and unusable, but 97 cents at Wal-Mart fixed that with two tubs of purple clay. Easy fix for that kind of price, I think! The game is SO much fun. We've played a few times with friends during dinner parties we've hosted and it is a game FULL of laughs. Such a good time! Glad I made this purchase and glad I got this great set at such a great price! :)

      I have a family with multiple generations and a lot of different personalities and this is by far our favorite game. It has something for everyone: trivia, word puzzles, acting and art. The game is mostly appropriate for junior high-school aged kids and up as little ones don’t really know the material to answer the questions yet.

      Horrible product. Came used, nowhere was it advertised as a used game. The clay was opened dried out, pencils were dull, lid to the board game was falling apart (someone taped it back together), actual board was dented and scratched, paper pads were mostly used--few sheets left, player pieces were scuffed, no guarantee that all the cards were present. Really disappointed in the advertising for this. Shouldn't pay full price for a used product. Sending back.

      There is only one downside to this game you need four players to play! I bought this for my daughter for Christmas as she had the junior cranium years ago and whilt she liked it it doesnt have the range of thsi game. You have four areas of cards to complete and work around the board throwing different colours on the dice. Word Worm which has alsorts of different word game, spelling backwards, guessing meanings, etc. There Star Performer, humming, charades and the fun one puppeting. There Data Head which is like questions and Creative cat, drawing with your eyes closed, modeling with clay, etc. It is great fun for all the family and even the people who are first didn't want to perform by the end of the game were very into it. You do need a bit of room to play it and at least 4 people. But it is very much fun for all ages.

      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2011
      Verified Purchase
      I bought this game for my boyfriend for Christmas as he is a fan of board games. I was a little worried that this would be overly complicated but after you've read the instructions, its very simple, but brilliant. We played this game a couple of times over the Christmas period and its been very enjoyed. Especially when we turned over the 'humpback whale' card.
      I wouldnt suggest this game for small children though, its really for a group of adults with a fair amount of wine but children can enjoy this (I'd suggest from 12 upwards) Also some of the songs you need to hum are from the 80s/90s and you'd need to be late 20s to know what they were.
      For entertainment value though, this is definitely 5 stars, we love it.

      This is a great game for family and friends and for all type of people. The good at Maths will team up with the person who's good at drawing and the fun it'll be guaranteed! We have played all over Christmas and we've been playing with friends in different occasion. One only down side is the number of cards, once you've gone through all of them you start remembering the answers and it looses the fun side a bit. Otherwise great game!
