Cranium Hullabaloo DVD Amazing Animal Adventure

I love this game. My kids will play for hours, seriously! I love that it has different game modes, so they don't get bored, it is great for visual as well as auditory direction following...My kids can see what it is telling them when it says which mat they should go to it puts a little pic of the mats up on the side of the screen. The guy giving directions is very animated, but that makes it super fun for the kids, they really enjoy it. It also isn't something that gets annoying to have in the background while I am working on the computer or doing my own school work. It is great for them to get out excess energy on those cooler gray rainy days we get so many of in the fall/winter here. Great buy, I definitely recommend it for anyone with kids! Mine have loved this game since about age 2.

My 5-year-old daughter received this game as a gift for her birthday. She's been playing it ever since. I love that she can play it alone, or with a group of friends, so it's great for when I need her to amuse herself, or for a rainy day playdate with friends. She askes for it all the time, and giggles the whole time she's playing. I would think that a game like this would become repetitive, but she doesn't seem to feel that way. My 10-year-old son doesn/t mind joining in when she asks - I'm not saying I'd buy this game for someone his age, but rather that older siblings might very well be lured into playing with youngsters. Another great product by Cranium!

I bought the original when my kids were 5 and 3, and it was a good game for them to play together for a change. The DVD game has the same concept, but is more visual; when the announcer announces the pad, the possibilities show up on the screen. All the pads are animals (no food, musical instruments, as in the original), but there is minimal animal education. Kids might learn which animals are farm animals, which are ocean animals, etc. I think there is less variation in this game than the original; after a few days play and repeat games, I can figure out (but not my kids)which pad will be the winning one. One of the best features of the original, is that it made my kids listen to the instructions. Listening skills can be replaced by visual cues in the DVD version.

I have 4 boys (ages 8 & under) and they love this game. The game can get loud and you need a good amount of space in front of the tv but that is the fun of it. The only thing I would change about the game is I would like the pads they stand on to be a little bigger (sometimes 2 kids have to share a space). If your kids like active games then this is wonderul.

My 4-year-old received this for Christmas, and just loves it. I think he enjoys the feeling that he's playing with the other "kids" on the dvd, and of course making animal noises is just a bonus :) I would recommend it for kids who like to move around and love animals, as my little guy does. It also keeps him occupied while I get other things done, yet I'm welcome to jump in and play along whenever time permits. Not very educational, but lots of fun.

This would get 5 stars but the box was a bit banged up. I paid extra from this site to make sure it was in new condition because it was a gift. It is new, but sort of beaten up.

Very happy with Cranium Hullabaloo. We bought this for our 2 1/2 and 4 year old after playing the original Hullabaloo at a friend's house. The kids love it and unlike other board games, it gets them up and moving. Highly recommend for family's with toddlers and young children. It's fun for everyone.

Great game. My children love it. Great for getting the wiggles out in a constructive way.
