Contact Thinkersize and request a Cranium CoRE demo

The fastest way to understand Cranium CoRE is to watch your own students play it. Tell us your grade, your school or district, and a book your students are reading right now, and Andy will run a game with them - in person where he can, over video everywhere else. It takes one class period, costs nothing, and you keep the questions.

Frequently asked questions

Is the demo really free?

Yes. Any non-student can create a free account and get access to demo the product. You can play up to 25 games and more (see the free vs. premium table). There is no obligation and no student data collected.

Can we try it without a demo?

Yes. Create a free account on craniumcore.com and play 1-2 player games on the keyboard to see the questions and the flow.

Do you sell to individual teachers?

Licenses are per school so every teacher in the building can use it. A free account is the individual-teacher starting point; your school's license unlocks team play.

How do we order a license?

By credit card on craniumcore.com, or by purchase order: create a free account, print the order form from the Ordering page, and send it with your PO. Activation is normally under 48 hours.

How do renewals work?

Renew by credit card on the craniumcore.com Renew Subscription page, or send a new purchase order. Licenses are annual, per school.

Can we get one price for every school in the district?

Yes. A district that licenses all of its schools pays $349 per school per year, the lowest enrollment tier, for every building. Use the form with the topic Sales and tell us how many schools.

What happens after I send a message?

We typically reply within 2-4 hours, usually to set a date. For a demo, Andy runs a game with your students on a book they are reading now, in person where he can and over video everywhere else.
