Outfoxed! – A Cooperative Whodunit Game
Mrs. Plumpert’s prized pot pie has gone missing, and it’s a chicken chase to crack the case! In Outfoxed!, players work together to scour the board, gather clues, and use a special evidence scanner to rule out suspects. You’ll need to move fast—the guilty fox is high-tailing it toward the exit, and if they reach it before you identify them, you’ve been outfoxed!
How to Play
Unlike most games, Outfoxed! is cooperative, meaning everyone plays together as a team of detectives.
-
Search for Clues: Roll the dice to move your detective hat across the board and uncover clue markers.
-
The Evidence Scanner: Use the unique "clue decoder" to check if the thief is wearing specific items, like a scarf, a monocle, or a top hat.
-
Eliminate Suspects: Compare the evidence to the suspect cards on the board to narrow down your list of culprits.
-
Catch the Thief: Make your final guess before the fox figurine reaches the end of the path!
