Funko Cranium Hoopla Party Game

Oh my goodness! My 7 year old had a BALL with this game. We played the green cards at first, which are easier, and once he had the gist, he was off to the races. The back of card bonus question/activity adds some easy-peasy fun and a chance for wiggles and I'd say makes the most sense when playing with others so you can enjoy each other's sillyness. But the overall seek-and-find-and-puzzle part is brilliant and is both accessible and challenging for kids (maybe up to 10? 12?). My son started playing the red (harder) puzzles on his own and has come back and put hours into those when I wasn't available to play. Occasionally he'd check in when he had a stumper and we would figure it out together or flip it over for the answer, but that fact this game can provide solo entertainment away from a screen can be a huge plus for a busy mom! I don't know who did the art for this but it is SO creative and filled with hidden visual jokes and puns for adults to enjoy and more than a few hidden references to movies/TV/pop culture. I think I laughed out loud at the sand-witch. And there is just so much of it. It's an enormous multi-part board that pieces together into a giant map with very dense detail. I think you could stare at it all day and still find new things to notice every time you come back. If you and your kids like Where's Waldo but wish it had some brain teaser and puzzly-ness, this is a home run. (I almost wrote No-Brainer! LOL) It challenges them to interpret what they see, not just find it. I think this game has a lot to offer and I would give it six stars if I could. Instead I'm just going to buy copies for everyone I know with elementary age kids.
