Guide Review - Cranium Balloon Lagoon

Cranium is famous for their stimulating and entertaining games for kids and adults alike. They have come out with another winner in Balloon Lagoon, which is a fantastic fun filled family game. The game is modelled along the lines of a carnival, with 4 games to be completed before the final task - collecting balloons. The first game is to fish for letters at the Letter Lake using a magnetic fishing rod. The letters can be used to spell simple words like cake, coat etc. The next game is to spin picture dice to form pictures of mermaids, scuba divers and more. The Snack hut is where kids have to match up their favorite snacks like popcorn! And the final game is the Frog Pond where the players have to flip frogs back so that they land right back into their pond. After completing each milestone, the players have a chance to collect balloons. The first person to land 15 balloons is the winner! To make the game more exciting, there is a timer which sets time limits to complete the games!

The only negative thing that I found about this game was that there are lots of little pieces which may get lost especially when there are young kids around. But if you play carefully, and remember to put everything away in the box at the end, you should be A-Ok! So, what are you waiting for? Check out Cranium's Balloon Lagoon for your kids aged 5 and up!
