Game Rules for Whoowasit?

Hey there, let’s dive into the exciting world of the Whoowasit? game! This is a fun and captivating game that will challenge your detective skills. Are you ready? Let me guide you through the rules. The game is played on a magical game board, where we have to solve a mystery and find the lost treasures of the castle.

First things first, let’s talk about the game setup. You’ll need a game board, which is displayed in front of us. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the game pieces, including the treasure chests, animals, and the electronic device. Each of these elements plays a crucial role in the game.

The goal is to find the lost treasures before the evil wizard gets them. To do this, we will need the help of the animals in the castle. These cunning creatures have the ability to talk, but only with the help of a magic potion. So, one of our tasks will be to prepare this potion by collecting various ingredients throughout our journey.

Now, let’s talk about how the game progresses. We move around the game board by rolling the dice. Each time we land on a space, a specific action happens. It could be something exciting like finding an item, listening to an animal, or even encountering the evil wizard! We have to be cautious and make wise decisions to outsmart him.

The animals will provide us with valuable clues through their special talking ability. They will tell us the time at which they saw the evil wizard pass by. Keep track of these times, as they will help us figure out his secret hiding place in the castle.

Remember, we have a limited number of days to solve the mystery and find the treasures. Time is of the essence, so we need to act swiftly. We can use the electronic device to travel quickly around the castle, but be careful, as it has limited power.

As we gather clues, discover hidden doors, and collect treasures, we need to be cautious of false leads. The evil wizard will try to mislead us, so we need to double-check all the information we receive. Trusting our instincts and being observant will be the keys to success.

Throughout the game, we will face unexpected challenges, solve riddles, and work together to achieve our goal. Communication and collaboration are essential, as we need to share information and work as a team. Remember, the magic of cooperation is our greatest strength.

So, are you ready to embark on this thrilling adventure? Let’s dive into the enchanting world of Whoowasit?, where mystery awaits at every turn.

Once upon a time, there was a wise king who cherished his castle and the people within its walls. This king had a powerful and magical ring that protected him from an evil wizard. However, one fateful day, the king realized that his treasured ring had vanished!

The king’s loyal men brought him news that the wicked wizard was fast approaching. With time running out, the king knew he had to find his missing ring before the wizard appeared at the castle gate. The clock already showed twelve noon, and the evil wizard was expected to arrive at six in the evening.

Determined to retrieve his ring, the king set out on a quest to uncover the thief responsible for its disappearance. He deduced that the thief must still be inside the castle since the vigilant castle cat had seen no one leave throughout the night. There was only one problem – only children had the ability to understand and converse with animals.

In a stroke of inspiration, the castle cat shared a plan with the children. They needed to feed the other animals within the castle and listen carefully to any clues they might provide. These animals held the key to discovering the identity of the thief and retrieving the precious ring from their hiding place.

Game Board

There are three kinds of doors in the game: Dungeon Door, Tower Door, and Great Hall Doors 3 and 4.

Getting Started

To begin the game, place the game board on the table where everyone can reach it if you want to play together as a team.

When you’re ready to play, here’s what you need to do:

First, choose your playing piece and put it in the nursery.

Just a quick note: in the easy version of the game, the doors to the tower and dungeon are closed. They only come into play in the medium and hard versions.

Make sure to put the ghost in the courtyard and place the four doors on their matching rooms.

Next, grab the cat, nine food tokens, four key tokens, the die, and ten suspect cards. Keep these face up next to the game board.

Now it’s time to set up the chest. Put the ring base into the circular compartment and place the ring on top. Shut the lid and turn on the chest.

How to Play the Game

Hey there! I’m about to explain how this game works so you can have a blast playing it. Ready? Let’s go!

First things first, let’s talk about the basic gameplay. The youngest player gets to go first, and then it’s everyone’s turn in a clockwise order. Simple enough, right?

When it’s your turn, here’s what you need to do:

1. Roll the Die

In the game, if you roll a number on the dice, you can move through that many rooms. It’s up to you if you want to move the full number of spaces or if you want to move fewer spaces or stay in the same room.

Hey there! Let me explain how to play this game. You can move your playing piece in any direction, as long as there’s an open doorway. Isn’t that cool? But watch out! If the ghost is in a room, you can’t enter or pass through it. Safety first!

After you’ve decided where to move your playing piece, simply press a room button to continue playing. It’s that easy!

If you give the ghost a roll, it will move to the next room along its ghostly pathway that’s marked with arrows. If the ghost ends up in a room that’s already occupied, that piece gets sent right back to the nursery.

Keep rolling the ghost until you get a number instead. Then it’s time to move your own playing piece and press the button for the corresponding room.

For example: Let’s say the green player gives the ghost a spin. The ghost moves one room ahead, leaving the courtyard and entering the blacksmith’s workshop.

The yellow playing piece that was in the blacksmith’s workshop gets sent back to the nursery. And then the green player gets to roll again.

2. Tap on a Room Button

When you enter a room, the first thing you need to do is tap on one of the room buttons. These buttons are displayed on the screen and are labeled with the names of the different rooms available.

Tapping on a room button allows you to enter that specific room and start interacting with others who are in the same room. It’s like opening a door and stepping into a different world where you can meet new people and have interesting conversations.

Each room has its own unique topic or theme, so choose the one that aligns with your interests. Whether you’re into music, sports, movies, or anything else, there’s a room for you.

Remember, when you tap on a room button, you’re not just joining a chat room; you’re joining a community of like-minded individuals who share your passions. It’s a place where you can express yourself, learn from others, and make meaningful connections.

So, take a moment to explore the different room buttons and find the one that sparks your curiosity. Once you’ve found the perfect room, tap on the button, and get ready to immerse yourself in engaging conversations and endless possibilities.

Once you’ve moved your game piece, simply press the button on the chest of the room you’re in. Each room has a different animal to represent it. When you hear a quick beep, that’s your cue to press one of the action buttons.

Example: I moved my playing piece to the chapel where the snake is hiding and pressed the button with the snake on it.

Step 3: Take Action

Now it’s time to take action! There are five possible actions you can choose from, each corresponding to a different button. When you press a button, a character or animal will talk to you. It’s important to think carefully about which action to take in each situation.

Let’s decide together which action makes the most sense for the current situation. Here’s a hint to help you manage your time wisely: start by searching the room (look with your eyes), then talk to the animal (use your mouth), and finally, feed the animal (use your hand).

For young players, it’s a good idea to write down any clues you receive to avoid repeating actions. Remember, each action you take will shorten the remaining time on the clock).

Step 1: Search the Room

If you come across food, grab the food token and put it on an empty space on the cat game board (Example 1).

Remember, only two food tokens can be on the cat at once. Any extra ones should go in the kitchen pantry (Example 2).

(For little kids, we can skip this rule and let all the food tokens go on the cat.)

If you find a key, put it on the key space on the cat game board. You can put as many keys there as you want.

Speak: Conversations with Animals

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to communicate with animals? To truly understand their thoughts and feelings, and engage in meaningful conversations with them? It may seem impossible, but advances in technology and scientific understanding are bringing us closer to this extraordinary possibility.

Imagine being able to sit down with your beloved pet and have a heart-to-heart conversation. To ask them how they’re feeling, if they’re happy, or if they’re in pain. The ability to communicate with animals in such a way could revolutionize how we care for them, deepening our connection and ensuring their well-being.

When it comes to understanding animals, it’s important to recognize that they have their own unique ways of communicating. Just like humans, they have their own languages and forms of expression. However, unlike humans, they often communicate through non-verbal cues and signals.

By learning to interpret these cues and signals, we can begin to understand what animals are trying to convey. For example, a wagging tail in a dog may indicate happiness or excitement, while flattened ears could suggest fear or aggression. Cats may communicate through purring or rubbing against you, signaling contentment or a desire for attention.

It’s fascinating to think about the possibilities that lie in being able to communicate with animals. Not only could we gain insights into their emotions and needs, but we could also learn from their wisdom and unique perspectives on life.

While we may not yet have the ability to have full-fledged conversations with animals, there are tools and techniques available that can help facilitate communication on a more profound level. Animal communicators, for instance, are individuals who claim to have a heightened ability to understand and relay information from animals.

These communicators often work by tuning into an animal’s energy and using their intuition to interpret their thoughts and feelings. They may receive messages in the form of images, emotions, or words, which they then convey to the animal’s caretaker.

While the effectiveness of animal communication is still a topic of debate, there are countless anecdotes from people who have had profound experiences through this practice. From helping to resolve behavioral issues to providing closure in times of loss, animal communication has the potential to greatly enhance our relationship with the animal kingdom.

So, while we may not have the ability to speak with animals in the same way that we do with other humans, it’s essential to remember that they have their own unique ways of communicating. By being attuned to their signals and open to the possibility of understanding them, we can deepen our connection with the animal world and enrich our lives in unimaginable ways.

Hey there! I’ve got a cool game for you. The animals will talk to you and ask for food. All you have to do is remember what they want and the clues they give you.

If they give you any hints about who the thief might be, turn over the suspect cards that you can eliminate. This will help you get closer to catching the sneaky thief!

Feed the Animals: Give Each Animal Its Food

When you want to feed an animal, wait for it to ask for food and make sure the food token is placed on the cat.

Once you’ve placed the token face-down next to the game board, the animal will be considered fed.

Here’s a helpful tip: You can only press the Feed button (the hand) on the same turn that you pressed the Speak button (the mouth). Avoid pressing the room button again.

Remember:

Hey there! Guess what? You can use the tokens on the cat any time you want. But here’s the kicker – you have to be in the kitchen to use a token from the pantry. Simple enough, right?

So, if you happen to be in the kitchen and there’s an empty spot on the cat, you can take a token from the pantry and put it there. And get this – you can do it before or after your turn. How cool is that?

Now, here’s another neat trick. You can actually swap tokens in the pantry with the ones on the cat. It’s like a little token exchange program. Pretty nifty, I’d say!

But wait, there’s more! Use the Magical Object!

Welcome to the enchanted realm! Here, I’ll show you some rooms with extraordinary objects. To uncover their secrets, just tap on the “Magic” button.

See those stars surrounding certain objects? They indicate something special hiding within. Who knows what you’ll find? It’s a thrilling game of chance!

Are you ready to unlock a chest?

Hey there! Let me explain the game to you. There are 10 suspects, and each of them has a chest filled with their precious belongings. Your task is to find the thief by opening their chest.

Here’s what you need to do: first, make sure you’re in the right room. Then, the cat must have the key. Only when these two conditions are met, you can try to open the chest.

Hey there! Just a quick tip: Remember to press a room button first, and then an action button, each time it’s your turn.

In the game, you’ll hear from a bunch of characters, like a cat, other animals, an evil wizard, a ghost, and even a fairy. They’ll give you instructions to follow, so make sure to listen carefully!

Choose How Challenging You Want It

There are three difficulty levels you can play the game in:

When you turn on the game, you have the chance to choose the difficulty level. If you don’t choose anything, it will automatically start in easy mode.

If you want to play the medium version, press the “Nursery” button (the one with the rocking horse) once, and then press the “Magic” button (the star).

If you’re feeling extra adventurous and want to try the advanced version, press the “Magic” button one more time. If you want to go back to the easy version, just repeat the sequence again.

In the simple version, you won’t need to worry about the dungeon and tower doors because they’ll be closed. But in the medium and hard versions of the game, you can explore the tower and dungeon.

If you choose the hard version, the ghost and wizard will be more of a threat, and the fairy won’t be as helpful.
