Kids will love every minute of Cranium Cariboo as each turn gives them the chance to match fun drawings, unlock secret doors, and even discover hidden treasures
Rounds of Cariboo last about 10 to 15 minutes, great for young attention spans
Kids learn while matching letters, numbers, shapes and colors AND practice sharing and turn-taking by passing the key with each turn
Cranium Cariboo comes with a Cariboo Island game board, six treasure balls, two sets of cards (beginner & advanced), one key, and a treasure chest
Cranium Cariboo is the all-new, magical treasure-hunt game designed especially for young minds. Kids will love exploring the golden island of Cariboo, where they'll find castles, boats, balloons and more. Their eyes will light up as each turn gives them the chance to match fun drawings, unlock secret doors and discover hidden treasure. Multiple matching activities reinforce four early-learning fundamentals: ABCs, numbers, shapes and colors.
Taking a step away from trivia questions and clay sculpting, the makers of Cranium have instead created a game for teaching wee ones a few colors, shapes, numbers, and letters. (And, if you know 3- to 6-year-olds that won't lose all the included cards and balls, they may also learn sharing, cooperation, and imaginative play.) The bottom of the box houses the game itself, with three chutes along the top that the balls are dropped into and three rows of flip-up panels that are decorated with various colored objects. Players draw cards, match them to a panel, flip up the panel, and hope there is a ball underneath it. Once all six balls are recovered a treasure chest pops open and gameplay can begin anew. --Pam Lauer

Cariboo is a hit with my grandchildren:
I ordered Cariboo for two sets of grandchildren. Both found the game highly entertaining and stimulating. The mother's loved it too. My order through Amazon arrived in Houston in good time even amidst hurricane Ike.
Great game for toddlers/preschoolers:
Our 2.5 year old loves this game! Educational and fun. Can be modified to make it easier for younger kids or a bit more challenging for preschoolers.
Excellent game:
I bought this for my daughter who is nearly three and she loves it. It is alot of fun and very educational. She is loves to use the key to open the 'doors' and to put the balls in the slot to try to open the treasure chest. One of the good points is that you can finish the game in about 10 - 15 minutes - which is a big plus. I would highly recommend it.
Highly Recommended because it is Fun!:
This is a great game simply because it is quick and easy. We play it over and over and over at my daughters request....and I don't mind. I can only take a limited time of Candyland and the such. She will even play by herself for a good length of time. Yes, you can see the balls, but you need to get the card to open the door. Yes, it has colors, numbers and letters - good reinforcement but it isn't a "educational toy." The cool thing is that you get to stick a key in a hole and it opens. Simple fun! And when... more info
