Description
This game is like Clue but for younger kids – and yet still fun for adults too. A fox stole a pot pie, and you have to figure out which fox it was before they escape into the foxhole.
My kids regularly play this cooperative whodunnit game independently, and I love watching them work together as a team to solve the mystery. This is a fun little game to build your child’s logic and deductive reasoning skills!
Note: The manufacturer says this is for ages 5 and up, but according to several other families (including mine!) most 4-year-olds are ready for this game.
From the Manufacturer
Mrs. Plumpert’s prized pot pie has gone missing, and it’s now a chicken chase to crack the case! Move around the board to gather clues and then use the special evidence scanner to rule out suspects. You’ll have to work together quickly because the guilty fox is high-tailing it towards the exit! Will you halt the hungry hooligan before it flies the coop… or will you be Outfoxed?
This game combines a cooperative game and a deduction game into a wonderful venue for honing deductive reasoning in a non-competitive environment. 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. Happy sleuthing!
WARNING: Choking Hazard – Contains small parts not suitable for children under 3 years.

Outfoxed is cooperative so it’s fun for everyone and easy enough for even preschoolers to participate!

Family games should be fun for everyone! We have five kids, and that is one of the rules of our Friday Family Fun Night. We play a lot of co-op games with our kids — Hoot Owl Hoot and Outfoxed are really fun! We also taught them Forbidden Island and Forbidden Desert and Castle Panic. Co-op games are great for teaching kids slowly, as open hands and working together are good.

LOVE THIS GAME! I’m a pediatric occupational therapist and I know my kids games, but this game is my favorite! A cooperative game to teach logic and deduction skills as well as the usual accounting and turn taking skills. We can easily play with my bright three-year-old since it’s cooperative and it’s definitely not one of the boring kids games!

My kids ask to play Outfoxed at least 3x a week and we play 2 or 3 rounds each time (they only take 10-15 minutes)! My 4 year old played with ease. And best of all, I enjoy playing it too!

My kids (9 & 6) and I have a blast playing Outfoxed. I like that we work together to beat the fox. Everyone feels like a winner!

I have 3 kids from 2 to 6 and babysit 3 more. This is a game that never gets old and teaches the group how to work together. Nothing better than winning with friends!

My son is 7. Although learning competetion is important, working together and following the steps of the game (paying attention etc) is important too. This game is not about competetion. It is one of our favorite games nowadays!
