Brilliant game to play with kids

It’s a fun game, the narrator encourages the kids, it helps build memory strategies, or a great way to encourage writing practice if you have the kids write down the clues. There are achievements to unlock to encourage playing again.

Whoo was it

No captions!!! All audio.. not very accessible

Great family game

My 7 and 5 years old enjoy playing this game.

So good!

Hands down the best Cooperative Board Game in the whole App Store. It has been played dozens of times over the last three years and still gets picked on rainy days over newer games. Great fun for kids and adults. Hoping for Ravensburger to make more apps, especially ones like this and older board games like Enchanted Forest.

Classic game needs better representation

The gameplay is smooth although quite slow. None of the characters are people of color. I would like to see other races included for the playable characters.
