Read the full game description
Mrs. Plumpert’s prized pot pie has vanished, and the detectives must crack the case as a team. On each turn, announce whether you will search for a clue or reveal suspects, then roll three dice to match the required symbols. Success moves detectives across the board or adds new suspects; failure sends the fox closer to its den. Feed each discovered clue into the evidence scanner to learn whether the guilty fox carries that item, eliminate impossible suspects, and name the thief before it escapes.
