Funko Cranium Hoopla Party Game

My extended family has a monthly 'family game night' and we are always looking for games that are appropriate for all ages. Sometimes we have six-year-old kids playing and sometimes we have eighty-year-olds playing, with all ages in between. This game is suitable for the whole (extended) family. Set up is easy: everyone gets dealt 4 playing cards. On each card there is a Person, an Object and a Place. They're 'themed' cards, so an example a card might have Thomas Jefferson as a person, The Declaration of Independence as an object and America as a place. The rest of the deck goes in the center of the table, to replenish each player's cards as the players use them up during their turn. Game Play: also in the center of the table, there are four double-sided 'guides' (as I'll call them) which provide instructions on what to do. One side is 'basic' instructions and the other side is 'advanced' instructions. They are red (word games), yellow (this is escaping me at the moment), green (acting in a charades-type manner), and blue (drawing on the included dry-erase board). You roll the multi-colored die, and let's say the face on the die is Blue and the symbol on it is a Location pin. According the the 'guide' for that color, you have to look at your player cards and draw the 'location' on the card. Using the above example, that'd be America. If you were using the flip-side / advanced 'guide' then you'd have to draw it as tiny as humanly possible. If you rolled a green face with a Person icon, you'd have to act like Thomas Jefferson. If you were doing the advanced guide version, you'd have to act like Thomas Jefferson *but* your elbows would have to remain glued to your sides like a T-Rex. There are also 4 'coins' that you can use to change categories. The idea is that EVERYONE is on the same team, and you play against a timer. There's a link to install an app but we just used our regular phone's timer. You set it for 15 minutes and pause it in between plays (unless one person is playing and everyone is guessing, the timer gets paused). When someone guesses your drawing/word/etc: that card goes in a pile of 'winners.' You see how many winning cards the team can collect before the 15 minutes is up. It's fun, it goes quickly, and it's faster to play than regular Cranium. I am not a fan of learning new games, but this one was no problem. to learn and understand quickly.
