The name of the comic like character is Cavity Sam. He is wired to let you know if you fail while trying to perform an operation to remove one of his body parts.

Answer: Sculptorades

In the Sculptorades activity, one player takes the Cranium Clay and makes the item listed on the back of the card. Like always, the player is timed during the task and the rest of the players on the team get a vague hint as to what the thing is. This activity is rarely, if ever, a Club Cranium activity. During the activity, the player with the clay can not make any gestures or sounds in order to ensure that the guess is based entirely on the player's sculpting and artistic abilities.

From Quiz Blood Rage (Board Game)

Answer: Perform a free Invade with the corresponding figure

There are eight upgrade slots on each clan sheet: one Warrior, one Leader, one Ship, two Monster, and three Clan. Apart from the Clan upgrades, whenever a player plays an Upgrade card, they may immediately perform a free Invade action with the corresponding figure. This is most obvious with Monsters. When a Monster upgrade is played, the player takes to neutral Monster, attaches their coloured base to it, and may immediately place it on the board. The same rule applies to other figures. If a player Upgrades their Warriors with Brothers in Arms, they may immediately place a Warrior on the board. This rule is often forgotten by new players who will, for example, Invade with their Ship on one turn, and then Upgrade it the next instead of using the free Invade action.

From Quiz The Dark Tower

Answer: Three magic keys

While it is nice to have anything on the list, the one thing a player must have in order to storm the Tower is the three magic keys, which you earn by hunting for them in the three foreign kingdoms. It's a bit too trivial for me to ask, but the kingdoms were given names in the instruction manual. The land with the red banner and lion was called Arisilon, the land with the blue banner and griffin was called Brynthia, the land with the yellow banner and falcon was called Durnin, and the land with the green banner and unicorn was known as Zenon. The Tower had a banner too, a deep red with a black dragon on it.

From Quiz Cranium

Answer: Blankout

Star Performer activities test a player's acting, singing, and performing abilities as well as players' knowledge of music and films. This doesn't necessarily mean that every thing will relate to media though, because a person may have to act out different actions or act like an object. Blankout is a Word Worm question, so your language skills are tested through it instead.
