## Description
Who says a board game can’t be a mystery solved in just 30 to 45 minutes? Who says cooperation can’t have a splash of electronics? In Whoowasit?, players band together to recover the magical ring stolen from the wise king by a wicked wizard. The game starts with a ticking clock: each turn you move your piece through the castle’s corridors, uncovering clues that point to the ring’s location. When you encounter an animal—cats, dogs, donkeys, goats, horses, owls, snakes, or even dragons—you’re prompted to feed it. These animals, which only understand children, reveal hints that only the electronic chest can generate, ensuring no two games are alike. Meanwhile, dice rolls decide how many spaces you move and how many items you can pick up. The pick‑up and deliver mechanic forces the team to plan routes, combine resources, and guard the objects that lead to the treasure. All of this is cooperative: if the group finds the ring before time runs out, everyone wins. If they don’t, the loss is shared. The game blends deduction, dice rolling, and strategic movement in a child‑friendly fantasy setting, all wrapped in an electronic format that keeps the pace brisk and the surprises fresh.
