OUTFOXED, A CLASSIC WHO DUNNIT GAME FOR PRESCHOOLERS, 4 players

So going to go over the different parts of this game and an overall review, but going to say that this little game is one of the best games to introduce gaming to a young child! Game overview: The game is cooperative deduction game, and uses a combination of clues with suspects who either have or do not have one of the objects in the clue. On your turn you decide if you are looking for suspects or clues, then you roll some custom dice three times trying to get all of the feet or eye symbols, if you don not a fox moves on a path towards his fox hole. The eyes allow you to flip over two suspects while the feet allow you to move as many spaces as feet. If you reach a clue you may place it on the device and then pull open the front panel which reveals either a green or white spot which means the thief either has or does not have the item. If you determine the thief before the fox figure reaches his whole. Components: The cards are of good quality, the custom dice are great, the board is clear and the revealing device works well! The only thing you may have to look out for is that the revealing device does require good lighting as the green and white background can be hard to differentiate in low light. Rules: The rules are clear, and it is easy to follow what to do on a turn. I will say that I have made one house rule for playing with kids who are younger, I let them choose eyes or feet after the first roll, so they have more success. Game length: The game plays quickly, about 30 minutes if all are engaged, high end 45 minutes. Complexity: This is slightly more complex than say candy Land or shoots and ladders, but would be around the same as Sorry or Guess Who. Teaching opportunities: The game provides opportunity to talk about deduction, odds, observations, turn taking, sequencing, and working with others. Overall: Obviously, this game is designed to play with kids, and that is why I rank it a 5 out of 5 here. The decision space is rich, the access is similar to other kids games and the technology to create a cooperative Guess Who is excellent! I would not expect too many adults to pull this off the shelf for their own game night, but for what it does for kids games it is a must buy for anyone with kids five years old and up!

This game is wonderful. You all play independently but you are all trying to beat the fox, so if your kid is overly competitive this is an alternative sort of game. It is VERY EASY TO LEARN. I don't understand other reviews from bewildered people who've been bewitched by... I don't know what. In fairness however, trying to learn while you're surrounded by anxious kids can be stressful, but it's not that serious. The toddler can play and that was important for a family game that everyone can enjoy without getting bored. Game moves quickly and is over in 10 minutes.

"Outfoxed" is a delightful and easy-to-learn board game that’s perfect for children. The rules are straightforward, making it accessible for kids, and it encourages collaborative play. Players work together to identify the suspect before the fox reaches the end of the path, fostering teamwork and problem-solving skills. Both my 6-year-old and 9-year-old equally enjoy playing it, and it’s become a favorite for quick and engaging family game nights. What sets this game apart is its cooperative nature—players strategize together to outsmart the fox, which is a refreshing change from the highly competitive games often available. This aspect of teamwork makes it a wonderful addition to any game collection, especially for families looking to promote collaboration and fun.

This is such a cute game. We have a 4 year old and an 8 year old and they love it! It doesn’t take long, so they stay engaged and interested. It teaches them to pay attention to the clues so they can try to figure out which fox is responsible! The adults even enjoyed it. The decoder slider box is a great touch. My four year old loved revealing the clues.

This game is so much fun for the whole family, which is good because my kids wanted to play it all the time. It's cooperative so everyone is playing on the same side and helping to beat the fox (which also means no tears). The game can sort of be graded up or down so there are ways for younger kids to participate but still keep parents and older children engaged. Solving the mystery is enjoyable and kept me entertained. It's a different game every time. The game goes pretty quickly...maybe 15 minutes. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a rare game that can keep kids of different ages and parents entertained.

Outfoxed! has quickly become a family favorite in our household, offering an enthralling blend of cooperative gameplay and mystery-solving that captivates players of all ages. With its whimsical art style and engaging detective work, it's impossible not to be drawn into the quest to unmask the cunning fox behind the theft. The game mechanics are straightforward yet clever, encouraging teamwork and critical thinking without being overly complex, making it accessible for younger players while still entertaining for adults. What truly sets Outfoxed! apart is its ability to foster a sense of accomplishment and unity among players as they collect clues and deduce which suspect is the guilty party. It's rare to find a game that balances educational value with sheer fun so seamlessly. Our game nights have been significantly enriched by this delightful addition. Highly recommend for families seeking a fun, engaging way to spend quality time together.

This game is SO fun! Perfect for 6 and 7 year olds. They love it, and I like playing it with them! I've bought this as gifts for friends with kids of that age.

What an awesome game! We have been having SO much fun playing this game with our 5 year old daughter. Easy to learn and it’s a different experience each round we play. Never a dull moment! Highly recommend if you’re like us and really enjoy screen free fun! Best $20 I’ve spent in a long time!

Absolutely great game, easy to play, my daughter 6.5 years learnt the rules in a few rounds and asked to play this game non stop :) What I loved most is that its a team work, nobody loses, nobody wins = no cries. Very satisfied with the quality of materials

My kids (ages 6-12) all love to play this together. They get so excited to look at the new clues, and there's real tension when they're deciding what to do next. Plus, it's nice to have a cooperative board game, instead of one where everyone is "versus" each other. Recommended for anyone with kids in the house.

Great co-op game to play with kids. I'd say it's also suitable for 4 year old. Gets played at least once a day.

Nice game. Develops memory, logic and team interaction skills. Easily mastered by children aged five years and older.
