 One Fun Game!!! May 12, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My kids love this game! It is so much fun and in the process of playing it they can learn so much about each other and the friends and family who they make play it with them. It's great for people of all ages - young and old.
 Whoonu it could be so much fun?!?! April 9, 2007
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I bought this game for my family after playing it at my daughter's friend's house. It was a blast. My dad is not a big game-board type player, but he loved this game. We had so much fun. It gets especially "challenging" when the cards you are holding do not really describe any favorite of the Whoozit...makes you really think about what they could like out of the cards you are holding. We even played choosing the card we think the Whoozit would like the least, and then putting them in front of the coins least favorite to best (highest points for least favorite coin to lowest coin for most favorite card). Either way we had lots of fun! My daughter is 7 1/2 and loves this game, as well as the other Cranium games we have (Cadoo, Balloon Lagoon, and Hullabaloo).[...]
 Non-competitive non-threatening sharing game February 19, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
We're always looking for fun games that help us learn about others at the table. This game encourages sharing
at a comfortable level and can be played quickly (one round might take 15 minutes). The game asks you to rank items from most to least favorite, so you're bound to need to share some stories to defend your rankings. As long as you get over the difficulty of ranking things that have nothing in common ('macaroni and cheese' and 'the color red'), you'll enjoy this game.
Who knew? February 18, 2007

This is a great game to play with people you want to get to know better. It is best played with 4 or more people. My 10 year old daughter typically does not like board games but she continually asks to play WHOONU!
Another Winner January 31, 2007

Those in my family have become big fans of the Cranium games, and Whoonu is another winner. It's simple enough to be learned in minutes, yet engaging enough to keep the interest of our 12- and 14-year old daughters.
The basic concept: after receiving a hand of cards that spell out different activities or subjects (example, "skydiving," "ice cream," "little dogs,"), you choose those that would be the favorite of the person featured for that hand. You score more points for guessing most accurately. There are always laughs, and a few half-hearted arguments--"but you told me you loved olives!" If you play with strangers, you'll find out more about them. If you play with close companions, you'll still find nuances to their interests that you never knew before. Whoonu!
The main drawback to the game is its lack of 2-person rules. My wife and I created our own. We both draw four cards, then place them facedown in the order we think fits the other best. The ones that are in the right order earn point chips.
The bottom line with this game is fun, interaction, and connection. These are the same elements that have drawn us to the Cranium line in the first place, and we were not disappointed.
