Cranium Hullabaloo - Top Christmas Toys 2008
From Hasbro
# 27 Top Christmas Toys : Cranium Hullabaloo, My kids received this game for Christmas and absolutely love it. In a way it sort of reminds me of Twister. It has a battery-operated voice box that calls out commands and there are all different kinds of pads that you lay out on the floor. It will ask you to do different things like jump to a blue pad, bounce to a red pad, skip to a green pad etc... Each pad has different things on it as well like animals, food, musical instruments etc.. At the end it will announce a winner if you happened to land on the right combination of pad. There are a lot of little things that the game does to get a few chuckles out of your kids. My kids and I give this game 5 stars and I think most kids will love it. Customer Reviews
A VERY FUN GAME!
We recieved this as a gift three years ago. This game still gets played at least 3/4 times a month. It's a combination between twister and Simon Says that teaches color and object recognition. To begin, you lay down all the mats, that are made of a strong but flexy plastic. Then you push down the big red button on the main unit and the fun begins! The main unit will give you directions on what to do next. The voice is very loud and clear, and there is even a button to control the volume high or low. Kids and Adults will enjoy playing this game together. My son's even like to play by themselves. The winner of the game is the person who is standing on the mat that is called out by the machine. This product delivers exactly what it says it does and will last for many years!
One of the best games for preschoolers.
My 2, 4 and 5 year old love this game an get it out at least once a week. It gets everyone up and moving and helps with color and shape recognition. Our first version only had one level but the second has two which adds a lot of silly twister like challenges. Lots of Fun!
Active fun for 3-6 year olds
This game has been played now for several years. I would say it was the most popular around age 5 (for boys). After that they start to lose interest, but sometimes even a 10 year old will play it. It's the most fun with several players.
