About this game
Whoowasit? hides a genuine mystery inside a talking electronic castle: a magical ring has been stolen, and only teamwork will find it before time runs out. You move through the castle's rooms searching for clues, feeding the animal residents so they will actually talk to you, and using magic or keys when the moment calls for it. The electronic chest reacts to every choice you make, keeps the culprit and the hiding spots different each game, and adds real dramatic tension with its ticking countdown. Everyone wins or loses together, which makes it a genuinely warm first cooperative game for kids who are ready for a bit of real deduction.
