Cranium Brain Breaks Game Review and Giveaway

by Robyn Wright on October 11, 2011

in Reviews & Giveaways

You know my family and I love board games and Cranium is a favorite. Now they have a quick version so we can play Cranium in just a couple of minutes – Cranium Brain Breaks.

Cranium Brain Breaks Game

It comes in this cute brain shaped box – love that! By the way, I think this would be kind of a cool Halloween gift for the family – better (ok not as tasty) than candy for the gang.

Cranium Brain Breaks Game

Once you remove the “brain” lid, everything you need is right there. The dice, cards, paper, timer, and even sculpting clay.

Cranium Brain Breaks Game

Pick a card, any card. Just grab a card, read it out loud, and everyone works together to complete the task. There are 200 different games in the kit with the categories we all love from the classic Cranium game, including Creative Cat, Word Worm, Star Performer, and Data Head. I love that you can just play one card if you want or you can do more if you like. Great for when you have just a few minutes to spare. What a fun way to start off the day too if the kids are up and ready on time before school (does that ever happen?).

Cranium Brain Breaks is worth the $14.99 price. It is for ages 8+ and can be played with 2 or more players. Cranium Brain Breaks Game

    These would be great for those times when Anna’s homeschooling day needs a quick incentive.  She is always wanting to get a quick break and play a game but most just take too long.  We as a family love games.  Especially when the nieces spend their school vacations with us.  LindaMRamos@gmail

    Congratulations to the purple Brain recipient! You’re right, it would be the perfect Halloween gift, especially if a party is involved. It would be fun if it lit up.  :)
    It’s probably a good game to play while waiting for dinner. Maybe small enough to take to a restaurant to make the waiting time more fun?
