Cranium Whoonu

Party and Word Games

Cranium Whoonu is a party game manufactured by Cranium, Inc. and marketed as the fun filled what's your favorite thing game. It is played by three to six players aged seven and up, with setup taking less than five minutes and a full game running fifteen to thirty minutes, and it carries a medium level of chance. The game consists of three hundred cards labeled with an assortment of random people, places, things and actions. During each round one player takes the rotating role of the Whoonu, or Whoozit, while the other players try to guess which of the available cards that person likes best by selecting the cards they believe match that player's favorites. Tokens valued from one to six represent different levels of preference, and players earn points by correctly predicting how the Whoonu ranks the choices offered.
