The folks at Cranium are just plain awesome. Not only are their games really fun to play, but they (the company) do very cool things as well.

I got the original Cranium for Christmas, and registered on the site to get a 20% discount at the online store. Over the past six months since I registered, I probably received four or five emails. One of them requested that I fill out a survey. I like Cranium stuff, so I thought I’d do it. One of the last questions they asked is if I would be interested in hosting a Cranium party and telling them about it. I said that I would be.

Not too long after that, I got an email from one of the guys at Cranium, asking me to verify my information, so I could host a party. I did so.

Yesterday we got a package from Fedex. It had a Cranium sticker on the outside, so I knew it was something good. I opened the box, and the first thing I saw was tongs of shredded purple paper as packing material. Only, it reminded me more of confetti than packing material. The box contained a brand new copy of Cranium Turbo Edition (a game that isn’t in stores yet), plus tons of other goodies. There were six different Cranium hats, several bags of popcorn, cranium balloons, cranium coasters, some starbucks coffee, some tasty looking gourmet chocolate sauce, cranium invitations and a letter from Cranium folk, with a picture of them acting crazy at what I imagine is Cranium headquarters. Also included is a very large pink envelope, with some surveys inside. The envelope is already addressed and postage already affixed.

Now, how cool is that? I’m rather excited. Hopefully everyone (they ask to invite six other people) will be able to come over pretty soon, so we can get this party underway.
