Product Information

Shuffle the 16 Thief cards and without looking, insert into the top of the Clue decoder, The easiest way to do this is to hold the decoder with the window-side down and slider closed. Further, the game involves the careful gathering of clues and some deductive reasoning, which can be a bit challenging for kindergarteners as their reasoning, abstract thought and sequential logical skills are still developing. Outfoxed!, designed and published by the team at Gamewright Games, is a 1-4 player co-operative whodunit aimed at families with younger children. Once a player is ready to reveal a suspect and successfully rolls for it, they can flip up two suspect cards, eliminating those that don’t match whatever clues they’ve gathered so far. It's always an excellent service with brilliant products at a very competitive price - will use again!

You will be working as a team, players will need to choose between searching for clues and revealing suspects. They then need to roll three custom dice to see if they are successful. If after three tries the dice all match the decision you made your investigation progresses.

In this way, the game can help kids learn to think sequentially and to use deductive reasoning, which in turn can make it a fun and entertaining addition to a study of logic.

It's great indoors on rainy doors, or outdoors when it's time for a fresh air break. Just be warned that the stepping stones are lightweight foam, so it's not ideal for a windy day (or underneath heavy boots). The other potential challenge is when your gaming space is on the smaller side, but you can adjust accordingly when setting up. Kids of all ages (and their grown-ups) will likely enjoy getting their wiggles out as they play. With a story involving a stolen pot pie, detective hat pieces and a colorful line up of illustrated anthropomorphic fox suspects to go through (and accuse), Outfoxed can be a very whimsical and amusing game that can capture the imagination of kids and parents alike. Good way to practice logic and deductive reasoning While not an educational board game per se, Outfoxed does offer a variety of educational benefits for young children. Reveal suspects – the dice have shown three fox eyes. These lead you to two more suspects, but how will you know which foxes are innocent and which might be guilty? There are 16 suspects, finding the thief will take all your powers of deduction.

At the same time, it is important to note that there really isn’t a hard upper limit to the game, in our opinion. Created by Gamewright, Outfoxed is a board game that aims to hone children’s problem solving, logic and deductive reasoning skills in an fun and engaging way. As you work together to try and nab the guilty fox, you’ll learn some valuable skills such as estimating probability and paying attention to details, as well as the important role that collaboration plays towards problem-solving. Aside from looking pretty fun and offering a nod to the game’s deductive approach, the pieces are made of fairly hard, good quality plastic and feel pretty solid in-hand, so we feel they should stand up to regular use without chipping or damage.
