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

It’s a wonderful game for me and my grandchildren, aged 4-14! It’s a cooperative game, but they don’t realize it! They enjoy playing it over and over while they use problem solving and deductive reasoning. Excellent quality! Worth the cost!

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!

Outfoxed! is like Clue for kids—except instead of a murder mystery, you're solving the case of a missing pie. And honestly, that’s a crime worth investigating.The game is simple but engaging: roll the dice, gather clues, and track down the sneaky fox before they escape. The clue decoder is pure magic to little minds, making them feel like real detectives (tiny Sherlock Holmes in pajamas). Plus, it teaches problem-solving and teamwork—because let’s be real, preschoolers need all the teamwork skills they can get.The only downside? If your kid gets too into it, expect them to start accusing you of stealing random household objects. But hey, that just means they’re invested.A great game for family fun and future detectives in training!

"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.

My kids, 7 and 5, love this game! And so do I! It's an easy, fun, family game! I can't wait to give this game as a gift and would recommend for family game night!!My only concern with the game is the Fox piece. If you have littles who sit and grab pieces off the board- the fox piece is easily bendable and could break easily.

Adorable game! Its like the game Clue for littler kids. It keeps my 5 and 8 year old both engaged. I appreciate that the concept includes working together vs. 1 winner. I round can be played fairly quickly for those of us that don't enjoy being sucked into a long board game. I would for sure recommend to the friend!

I bought this used, like new, but when it came the game board was ripped and the fox token and instructions were missing. Not to be "outfoxed" by this, and having certain family nembers who had waited some weeks to earn the money to buy this game. I got a copy of the instructions online, stuck the board back together, and an available Llama figurine took the place of the fox token on the game board. My littles think it's hilarious that the fox dresses up as a "llama" in our version as it's trying to escape. Really love the game, but do expect all the pieces to come with even when buying used. My littles were so excited to play that I couldn't disappoint them, by sending it back just to get a new one. They really like this game

I bought this ahead of a vacation in case there was a rainy day and we were stuck inside. There was no rain on our trip, but I am happy to say my husband, our 6 year old and I played many rounds on our last night. It was so much fun. We ALL genuinely loved it. From what I can tell, it is well made and very well packaged. I find it aggravating when you unbox a game and it is impossible to get it back in the box. Not the case here. It fits back perfectly just as it was originally packaged. We just returned from our trip yesterday and played several rounds last night. My son wants to play again today and I am happy to oblige! Great concept, great quality and definitely has a learning component as far as recognizing differences. Highly Recommend!!!
