Outfoxed! A Cooperative Mystery Game Where Deduction Meets Adorable Art

Get ready for an evening filled with cunning clues, playful suspects, and a delightful dose of cooperative gaming - because Outfoxed!, by Gamewright, invites you to solve a puzzling pastry heist! This charming game blends the suspense of a classic whodunnit with whimsical artwork that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.

Imagine this: it’s a bright morning in the village, and the bakery is abuzz with activity. Suddenly, disaster strikes! The pies are gone! Not just any pies – Mrs. Featherbottom’s famous “Award-Winning Apple Pies” have vanished into thin air. Suspicion falls upon several peculiar characters residing in the cozy village:

Freddy the Fox: A sly fellow known for his sweet tooth and penchant for mischief.
Betsy the Bunny: Always hopping around, her innocence hides a possible cunning nature.
Owen the Owl: Wise and observant, could he be hiding something behind those big, round eyes?
And more!

Players unite as a team of detectives, embarking on a quest to uncover the pie thief. Each player assumes the role of a different animal detective, each with unique skills and traits. The game unfolds through a series of rounds, where players collect clues by moving around the beautifully illustrated board and drawing clue cards. These cards reveal snippets of information about the suspects’ whereabouts, motives, and possible involvement in the pie disappearance.

Unraveling the Mystery: A Step-by-Step Guide

Outfoxed! unfolds with an engaging blend of deduction and luck, perfect for players of all ages.

Setting the Scene: The game begins by setting up the village board and placing suspect tokens at their starting locations. Each player chooses a detective character and receives a personal clue sheet.
Rolling the Dice: Players take turns rolling the dice, moving their detective along the paths on the board. Landing on specific spaces triggers different actions:
- Draw a Clue Card: These cards provide vital pieces of information about the suspects and their possible involvement in the crime.
- Ask a Question: Some spaces allow players to ask “yes” or “no” questions about another player’s clue card, encouraging strategic questioning and collaboration.
Gathering Evidence: Throughout the game, players collect clues on their personal sheets, carefully analyzing information and eliminating suspects based on contradictory evidence.
Making an Accusation: Once a player feels confident enough to identify the culprit, they can make an accusation. This involves revealing their chosen suspect to the other detectives.
The Truth Revealed: The game then unveils a hidden card that reveals the true pie thief! If the accusing player guessed correctly, they win! If not, everyone learns from the experience and prepares for a rematch, hoping to outfox the mischievous culprit next time.
