You and your gang have gotten together to conduct the business of ferrets, but you sense someone doesn’t belong. Another ferret, confusing your gang for theirs, is among you! Use your secret code to determine who is unknowingly weaseling into your meeting… and then ferret them out! HOW TO PLAY Look at the secret word shown on the screen. All players have the same secret word, except one player (the Weasel) who has a different word… But no one knows whether they’re a Ferret or the Weasel. Each player simultaneously types in a one-word clue onto their device. This may be any word except the secret word. Once everyone has submitted their clue, the app will reveal the clues to all players. We suggest anything is acceptable as a clue as long as it relates to your word. You can decide what kinds of words are acceptable as clues (names, slang, etc.) Write a good clue, but not a great one. Ideally, Ferrets should write a clue that relates to their word so that the other members of their gang will recognize them. The clue should be vague enough to prevent the Weasel from figuring out the Ferrets’ word. Example: "Dune" can be a give-away for "SAND". A better clue might be "Paper". After the clues are revealed, a timer will start and players will study the submitted clues. All players have until the timer expires to select the name of the player they think is the Weasel. Anyone who thinks they’re the Weasel should select their own name and then guess the Ferrets’ word. Once all players have submitted their guesses, the results are revealed and points are awarded appropriately. Ferrets Score: +1 If they correctly guess the Weasel +1 If ALL Ferrets correctly guess the Weasel +1 If the Weasel did not guess the Ferret word Weasels Score: +1 If they guess that they are the Weasel +1 If any Ferret fails to guess the Weasel +2 if they guess the Ferret word. The game ends after the round limit has been reached (choose 8/10/12 rounds) OR when the point limit has been reached (choose 15/21 points). Be sure to try out some of the variants to the base gameplay, including: Team Weasel: Play with two Weasels instead of one. Ferrets only need to correctly guess one of the two Weasels to earn points. Duel: For two players. It’s possible that no one is a Weasel. Paranoia: Each round there will be the chance that no player is a Weasel. ## Key features - Secret word identification - One-word clue system - Player deduction - Scoring system - Multiple game modes - Round and point limits ## Recent user reviews (5 of 5) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ferret-out/id1640326107/reviews.md ### 1/5 — No friends to play with *2025-12-09, version 1.0* I couldn’t get into online so I tried to play offline, but offline needed other people around you who also have this app, but none of my friends have this, I don’t know what to do anymore so I deleted it ### 1/5 — ⚠️PLEASE READ BEFORE GETTING⚠️ *2023-09-01, version 1.0* So I think I’m the only person who got this and understands this game. “Ferret Out” is also a board game. If you get the board game it will come with a piece of paper that has the verification code. So then you can also play this online. But if you don’t get the board game there is no point in getting this because you can’t play it without the verification code. But it seems like it would be pretty fun if you could actually play it without a code so that’s why I gave 1 star. ### 1/5 — Confusing *2023-07-15, version 1.0* I had no clue what to do. When it said to create a room or join a room you have to enter a code and there is no where to find a code. I looked everywhere and i couldn’t find it. I think it would be fun if it worked ### 1/5 — this game is not fun *2023-04-02, version 1.0* i dont like it ### 2/5 — Code? *2023-01-17, version 1.0* When I try to play the game by create a room or join a room why is it that it comes up with a msg that says I need to validate the game with a code ## Frequently asked questions about Ferret Out ### How do you play Ferret Out?
