What mystery do players solve in Outfoxed!?

Players work together to identify the fox that took Mrs. Plumpert’s pot pie before the culprit escapes. The shared goal makes the game about solving the case together, rather than trying to beat another player.

• Team play encourages communication and sharing.

How do the clues and evidence scanner work?

• Dice rolls guide movement around the board.
• Clues and scanned evidence help eliminate fox suspects.
• The hands-on mystery combines a board, dice and evidence checking.
