Gamewright Outfoxed! The Ultimate Cooperative Mystery Game For Kids Review

Glad to have adult assistance for 5 year old - until we all understood the instructions and rules. Had lots of fun with this cooperative team game.

Our kids love to play this game! And I love that it’s a team win and not an individual win. Our kids are competitive and this game promotes problem solving as a group. It’s challenging enough without being too hard, good 20 min family game that creates unity. Our four year old likes to role the dice and be apart of it but doesn’t grasp it fully like the older kids.

Quality game board and accessories. Easy to play through in 15 minutes, and kept everyone’s attention. Clever game with replay ability.

I am very pleased with the quality and gameplay. Easy enough that my 5 year old has no trouble following and making gameplay decisions. Also, not mind numbingly boring for adults as some kids games are. I actually enjoyed sitting down with the kiddos on this one. Basically a "whodunnit” by process of elimination, with decisions to be made each turn. I highly recommend this game. This is one of the best in my young kids collection.

I am an avid board game player and want to encourage my kids to love board games as well. My 5 and 7-year-old love this game! They play together and even solo, but it is also fun to play for the whole family. It reminds me of a variation of guess who. My 7-year-old doesn't often doesn't enjoy playing board games because they do not like to lose, but since this is a co-op game, it has made a huge difference in their interest to play more board games! My 7 yr old can explain how to play this game

We bought this for our daughters 6th birthday and everyone had fun entertaining her with this game. It’s simple and engaging for our children even up to our 14 year old. This truly made my daughter have a happy 6th birthday. I would recommend this product.

We sat down and played this game for the first time this evening and it really was a blast. Setup takes a few minutes and you can jump right into playing.With four people playing we solved the mystery in 25 minutes or so, including setup time and going over the instructions.The concept of the game is similar to clue in a way, though it feels completely different. We groaned as a family as the Fox creeped closer to the end, and cheered together when we finally eliminated the last…

We loved it. My daughter is five and very competitive she’s definitely a sore sport sometimes. it was nice finding a game where it was a cooperative game play and not teams against teams. Just us vs the fox. Is it a simple game? Yes, but what do you expect out of a game 5+? Everything was sturdy, colorful and fun.Honestly. I’d play this over and over again. It was a game my daughter picked up quickly and felt confident playing after the first round. I didn’t have to play for her or walk her…

My kids 5 and 3 love this game. It took 2 games for they to fully understand the rules and they love it 😊. They set up the game by themselves and play. Very good 👍

We were desperately looking for games to play as a family while we have been staying at home during the pandemic. Emotions are running a bit high and competitive games are sometimes ending in tears. Unfortunately, a lot of cooperative games are not challenging enough to entertain kids older than pre-school age. This game turned out to be a big win for us. There is definitely some luck but it requires some basic deductive reasoning to beat the fox.In this game, all players are competing against…

This game is easy to learn for young children. Teaches them how to use the clues to puzzle out who the thief is. What I like best is the players work together to beat the game. They’re not competing against each other so it’s also teaching teamwork and communication.

I got this for my son's 6th birthday, and we've had the game for about a month. We've played this game at least once every single day since then. In particular, I'm one of those hapless Texans who lost their electricity for almost 3 days during the deep freeze of 2021. We

The box was already opened when it arrived. It was not wrapped in plastic and the pieces were everywhere so that the lid didn’t fit properly. I had to take everything out and put it back together.

Bought this for my friend’s daughter’s 5th bday. She loves it and plays all the time. It’s pretty fun for the adults too. That's my feedback.

My son got this recently for his 5th birthday. He loves it so much, he's wanted to play it constantly! Sort of like Clue for kids. I enjoy playing it with him, too :)

Great game with tons of replay value. The story based element makes it easy to involve kids younger than 5 (the recommended minimum age). Our 3 year old loves playing and can now teach others how to play.

Bought the game for my 5-year-old daughter and my 7-year-old niece. On first blush the instructions may seem intimidating, but do not be fooled by all the pieces and parts that come with the games. In the end it's simple. you look for clues each turn or you turn over suspects. The games is great for little ones since it's cooperative and it's all players against the fox. It's an inclusive game that is easy to pick up, good for both young and old, and possessed of a charming aesthetic.I'd…

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…

This was worth the amount spent! It seemed confusing to play at first, but once I figured it out it was quite easy. I love that you work together and it uses deductive reasoning skills and encourages children to pay attention to detail. My granddaughter loved it and wanted to play it over and over. Would highly recommend it.

My grandkids are a bit young for them game, but even as an adult, I found it a tad complex to learn. But the kids definitely love it and I live that it’s cooperative and not competitive. The game is set up in such a way that it’s much more likely for the kids to win than to lose which I guess is a good thing for very young kids, but could also take some of the excitement out of it. What bothered me most is that if you lose any single piece - and there are a lot of cards and little pieces - the…
