The Legend of the Wendigo
Unmask the Wendigo hiding among the scouts before it picks you all off.
Who it's for
You have kids around six who like spooky stories and short games, and you want a hidden-role-style game they can understand quickly.
Not for you if…
You want a long or deep game. It is brief, and the villain role works best with a child who enjoys bluffing.
Vibe's take
Short and spooky in a campfire-story way: the scouts huddle and argue about who looked suspicious, while the Wendigo player grins and tries to keep a straight face.
About this game
The Junior Chipmunk Scouts are gathered around the fire when the troop leader tells the legend of the Wendigo, a creature with a heart of ice that attacks anyone who dares to speak its name. In this game, one player secretly plays the Wendigo's spirit, which looks like one of the scouts, and steals another scout each night. Each day the other players check the identity of a scout from the table. If they unmask the Wendigo in time, they win. If not, the Wendigo wins. A tiny spooky memory and bluff game for children, with one scary player against the rest.
