CRANIUM Hoopla

This game is perfect for game night! Some of the cards are a little outdated, but the game allows for skips so it’s all good. I recommend this for groups of four or more.

This is definitely not a game for little kids. It's very challenging & is probably best suited for anyone 14+ yrs of age. My boyfriend & I love this game (we're both 27 & 28 yrs old) and still, at our age, get stumped with some of the pictures the game has us portray, either through charades, drawing, or using verbal clues. It's a lot like Cranium but instead of one winner, everyone wins ONLY if everyone gets through all their cards within 15 minutes (timer is only used while clues are being given, not in between turns.)This game is not only very entertaining, it's mentally challenging, and I'd go so far as to say it probably helps improve your creativity and communication skills because it forces you to communicate in ways you aren't used to.

It’s hard to find fun games for two people and this one is a winner!

The game is a lot of fun - that is why we ordered it - but the box smelled a bit musty and it was mailed under the media rate (for which it did not qualify) so we had to pay postage due on this end (for which we are to be eventually reimbursed) - a bit too much hassle for our own good!

Here are 10 reasons Hoopla is one of my favorite "board" games:1) it doesn't require a board, so you can be more flexible about where you play it2) it doesn't involve teams of two so you can play it with many combinations of people3) since it's a collaborative game where everyone works on getting the answer each round, there's no time to get bored or wait becuase you are engaged the whole time!4) it uses the most fun elements of Cranium (doodling, doing word games, charades with sounds)5) it's incredibly simple to teach and learn6) it lacks an annoying buzzer7) it's kept in a small package that's easy to take to friends' houses8) the cards have cool photographs9) the topics are generally universal to most people although some are giong to be harder for younger people10) you can play it with just two peopleThe only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is that after playing it a bunch I've noticed that one of the 5 topics (i forget the name; it's the one where you say "bigger than x, smaller than x") is slightly annoying after a while....other than that, though, it's a really wonderful game, definitely in my top 3 for board games because it's so easy to play/teach and you can be flexible with the number of people! Cranium is an amazing company, I love seeing what they come out with. I'd be surprised to read that someone was unhappy with this (but then again i haven't read any reviews yet).

I was mistaken and said the product did not come. The mailboxes had not been checked in some time and that's where it was. The product is GREAT, thank you. Apologies again!

Product description said the game was used but all the pieces were there. I was dubious but really wanted to play it so I ordered it and it came in two days in perfect condition with all the pieces. Thank you!

Hoopla is the best game to play with your drunk friends. The best part about Hoopla is if you were shy before you started, you're definitely not shy by the end of the night. It brings the extrovert out of everyone.

Extremely happy to find Hoopla at such a great price. This game is not easy to find. It came in totally intact and nothing is missing. Looking forward to game night
