subject: The Many Reasons to Buy Cranium Pop 5 Game [print this page] If you were looking for a night of light-hearted brainless fun, then Cranium Pop 5 Game is just for you! The facts that you have to know in order to maintain a competitive edge in this board game are "fun facts" that everybody seemingly randomly knows.
This game is all about pop culture and you will be answering questions trivia style about celebrities, television shows, movies, etc. In my opinion this sort of gaming also has its place because not everything that you do in life needs to be scientifically "educational". Knowledge is knowledge and understanding pop culture helps to understand the world that is built around us by humanity and society's structure and norms.
The best part about Cranium Pop 5 Game is since it is about pop culture the stress levels are not running around at peak capacity. Rather you would find yourself and other players hysterically laughing at some of the situations and outcomes that arise while playing this board game.
There are many different ways to answer a question ranging from simply writing an answer to singing a tune to sculpting a scenario. When I say sculpting I literally mean that you sculpt a structure out of clay as a "correct" answer to a question. Of course, there's a timer which adds an additional element of challenge.
One other seemingly unnoticeable fun factor about Cranium Pop 5 Game is that the question database or activity database that exists around pop culture in this game is not based on obscure facts and knowledge.
Rather it is based on obvious, wildly popular memes, people, products, shows, places, events that there is a general knowledge of in society. For example, you do not need to be a wild film buff to be able to answer some of the movie questions that this game can throw at you. However, this is not to say that the challenges that this game presents to its players are easy at all.
Since the questions do not require standardized answers (in where you simply give an answer) but rather require you to present your answer in a creative format, a seemingly simple question can present a challenge to the most avid pop culture fanatic.
What about playing Cranium Pop 5 Game with your children? The problem that can arise when playing this game with your children (depending on how young they are) is that they might not be able to answer any or most of the questions/challenges that are presented to them.
This is not because they are unintelligent but rather simply because they have spent too little time in our great society and have not received enough exposure from popular media to the be able to be as in tune as adults can be to the popular discussion topics of the day.
A great element about all of this however is that instead of learning about pop culture on television and becoming indoctrinated with television advertising your child can learn about the world we live through playing this game. It is also the very act of participation that progresses their learning at an exponential rate (as opposed to merely being an observer while watching television).
I guess the last thing that I would like to say about Cranium Pop 5 Game is that in a nutshell it is extremely fun to play. Me and my family and friends have reached great highs and experienced amazing time together while playing this game.
The fact that there are so many creative answers to entertaining questions is a dynamic combination that allows you to maximize the amount of fun and hilarity that ensues through one session of playing this game. I recommend it for all!
