OUTFOXED, A CLASSIC WHO DUNNIT GAME FOR PRESCHOOLERS, 4 players

Outfoxed has quickly become our favorite game to play together. I first introduced it to my son when he was around 3¼, and now at nearly 3¾, I’ve seen a huge leap in how he interacts with it. What started as a fun, collaborative mystery has become a fantastic way to watch his deductive reasoning skills blossom. He’s beginning to grasp process of elimination, make intentional guesses, and even explain his thinking out loud—it’s truly amazing to witness.The artwork is incredibly engaging—my son loves looking at all the different places the fox might visit, and the visual clues keep him invested from start to finish. The game pieces themselves are excellent quality, with a really nice feel in the hand. As a parent, I genuinely enjoy playing this game too.One of the best parts is how flexible the pacing is. Sometimes a game goes quickly if your deduction clicks early; other times, it stretches out depending on how much you explore and how strictly you follow the rules. I’ve been relaxed about some mechanics, like movement and turn-taking, so my son could focus on reasoning and exploration—but it’s a game that can grow with him, and I know I’ll be able to gradually introduce more structure as he’s ready.Overall, Outfoxed is a gem: thoughtfully designed, easy to adjust for younger players, visually rich, and fun for adults too. Highly recommend!

Adorable game! Its like the game Clue for littler kids. It keeps my 5 and 8 year old both engaged. I appreciate that the concept includes working together vs. 1 winner. I round can be played fairly quickly for those of us that don't enjoy being sucked into a long board game. I would for sure recommend to the friend!

awesome

Outfoxed! is like Clue for kids—except instead of a murder mystery, you're solving the case of a missing pie. And honestly, that’s a crime worth investigating.The game is simple but engaging: roll the dice, gather clues, and track down the sneaky fox before they escape. The clue decoder is pure magic to little minds, making them feel like real detectives (tiny Sherlock Holmes in pajamas). Plus, it teaches problem-solving and teamwork—because let’s be real, preschoolers need all the teamwork skills they can get.The only downside? If your kid gets too into it, expect them to start accusing you of stealing random household objects. But hey, that just means they’re invested.A great game for family fun and future detectives in training!

My kids, 7 and 5, love this game! And so do I! It's an easy, fun, family game! I can't wait to give this game as a gift and would recommend for family game night!!My only concern with the game is the Fox piece. If you have littles who sit and grab pieces off the board- the fox piece is easily bendable and could break easily.

It’s a wonderful game for me and my grandchildren, aged 4-14! It’s a cooperative game, but they don’t realize it! They enjoy playing it over and over while they use problem solving and deductive reasoning. Excellent quality! Worth the cost!

I bought this used, like new, but when it came the game board was ripped and the fox token and instructions were missing. Not to be "outfoxed" by this, and having certain family nembers who had waited some weeks to earn the money to buy this game. I got a copy of the instructions online, stuck the board back together, and an available Llama figurine took the place of the fox token on the game board. My littles think it's hilarious that the fox dresses up as a "llama" in our version as it's trying to escape. Really love the game, but do expect all the pieces to come with even when buying used. My littles were so excited to play that I couldn't disappoint them, by sending it back just to get a new one. They really like this game

I wanted to figure out a way to encourage more movement on the board, and give the fox a chance. We kept kicking his butt!There’s one simple change, you only get to see every other clue card.The first clue you get to see. Put it on the clue marker visible. From there you only see every other, put those cards on the clue spots upside down.Once all clue spots are filled, you have to travel back to the upside down cards to flip them over and reveal them.We win and lose the game pretty evenly. Hope someone out there tries this. It was fun.
