Hasbro’s latest brainchild

Cranium is a game with a great mix of strategy, creativity and pure silliness. Now children can join in the fun as well, with a version of the popular game designed especially for them, but still fun for the whole family, from Hasbro.

Cranium Junior is a simplified version of the game, where children aged seven upwards have to get four correct answers in a row to win. It sounds simple – but as Cranium is billed as ‘the game for your whole brain’, you’ll have to work hard for your victory. Whether it’s acting, drawing, sculpting with Cranium Clay, puzzling or code-cracking, the 300 all-new questions and challenges should keep everyone busy.

The Cranium Junior board game is easy to set up and a set of very simple instructions mean that two to four players can start playing in no time. Also included is a pair of ‘decoder glasses’ and other intriguing surprises, and the game is priced around £14.99.
