Outfoxed! A Who Dunnit Game

I purchased this game a couple of weeks ago and had the opportunity to play it once with my just-turned-four granddaughter and my husband and a second time with my eight-year-old grandson.

Here’s the game set-up: a pot pie of Mrs. Plumpert’s was stolen and the team of young chicken detectives must gather clues and work together to determine which fox is the culprit. The player pieces are shaped like Sherlock Holmes’s detective hat.

While the clues are being gathered and suspects are ruled out, a fox pawn is following a path and if he makes it across the board before the robber is correctly identified, the game ends.

Gameplay involves the rolling of dice with the player announcing if they are “suspect-revealing” or “clue-searching” before the roll. There are SUSPECT cards and there are CLUE bubbles which are placed in a decoding device.

This game is targeted for someone who doesn’t need to read to play successfully. It’s fun and exciting for ages 5-97 and enjoyable for those older that wish to share some quality time with the demographic.

I like that the players have to share clues to work together to determine which fox is the thief. The board, cards, and playing pieces are visually attractive and appealing.

I recommend this game.
