Funko Games and Hasbro Unveil Cranium 25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition
Hasbro, a global branded entertainment leader, and Funko Games announced a new multi-year licensing partnership that brings together the biggest names in games to reimagine the mother of all party games: Cranium 25th Anniversary Edition. In addition, the duo is unveiling a refreshed line of Cranium classics and a new original children’s game – designed by Funko Games. Cranium was first introduced to the market in 1998. Its clever design combines several popular party game activities across art, trivia, language, and performance into one game, creating an experience where “everyone shines.” It was one-of-a-kind and a near-instant success, becoming profitable in just six months before taking the title of the fastest-selling independent board game ever in 2001, according to Inc. The game and its iconic Creative Cat, Data Head, Word Worm, and Star Performer characters spawned half-a-dozen other brands in just 10 years before being sold to Hasbro in 2008.
