Whoowasit? - Board Game

In the interactive Ravensburger Whoowasit? board game, players explore a castle in search of a stolen ring. Designed for children ages seven and up, Whoowasit? helps reinforce memory, strategizing, and teambuilding skills. Two to four players work together to find the magical ring by seeking food, communicating with animals, and collecting clues to find the thief before the time runs out. An interactive treasure chest allows players to choose the difficulty level and provides clues, ensuring that each game is full of surprises.

Whoowasit? is a captivating "who done it" electronic board game that challenges players to find the magical ring stolen from the wise king by the evil wizard. Against the clock, players move their pieces through the various rooms on the board to discover who stole the precious gem.

The talking animals can help players find the thief, but they want something in return: food. Players need to feed the animals their favorite treats before they will reveal their secrets. Players can also receive helpful clues from the castle fairy. But they have to be careful and quick--the evil wizard is on his way, and time is running out...

Each room offers players something different to discover. Players can find food, feed the animals, listen to clues from the castle fairy, move the ghost, or open the treasure chest of a suspect with the matching key. All players win together once they identify the thief.

Every clue helps players to eliminate a suspect. The electronic treasure chest provides clues at random when you push its buttons, making every game unique. Only the matching key allows players to open the chest and unlock its mysteries. In addition to battling against the clock, players must overcome other challenges like blocked rooms, trap doors, the ghost of the castle--and the approaching evil wizard!

Whoowasit? encourages players to work together as a team as they attempt to piece together the mystery of the stolen ring. The game keeps children engaged, while at the same time reinforcing strategy and memory skills. To successfully navigate their way through the castle in time, players must memorize the favorite foods of each animal and the incidents that take place in every room. The approaching evil wizard, intent on destroying the kingdom, helps create a sense of urgency and adds to the fun and excitement of the game play.

The electronic chest offers three levels of difficulty. Game play at the easiest level, in which the doors to the dungeon and tower remain closed, lasts approximately 30 minutes. Once players hone their clue-finding strategy, they can increase the game's level of difficulty to medium or hard for 40 minutes of playtime. All rooms in the castle can be accessed, setting the stage for more challenging incidents to occur during play.
