Outfoxed! A Cooperative Whodunit Game

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?

We’ve always been a fan of both cooperative games and deduction games, so it was little surprise that we fell for Outfoxed! The team at Department Recreation created a game that deftly combines both elements 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!

Beautifully packaged, Poo Bingo is gorgeously illustrated by award-winning illustrator Claudia Boldt while also containing an informative booklet with all the things you wanted to know - and never dared to ask - about animals and their poos, written by Aidan Onn.

Animals that are featured include: ants, bats, bears, beetles, cats, cows, elephants, horses, koalas, mice, penguins, pandas, rhinos, snails, vultures and many more.
