The benefit

Make problem-solving part of playtime.

Thinking, not consumingEvery clue is a little puzzle.
Build resilienceWrong guesses are the point. Back to the clue. Try again.
Less “I can’t”, more “let me try”A habit that sticks long after the fox is caught.

What's in the box

Everything you need to catch the bandit.

The Fox BanditSoft, 15cm tall, about the height of your phone. Stripy jumper and mask. Holds the money bag in his paws. Small enough to hide anywhere.
Clue card deckRoom cards with pictures, so a 3-year-old can follow them. Footprint cards for the floor. Blank cards for your own clues.
Handcuffs with two keysThe arrest feels official. Two keys, so nobody stays cuffed through tea.
The money bagThe loot. Finding the fox is the game. Getting the bag back is the win.

Why us?

Mums love it

Set up in two minutes. Play for half an hour.
Screen-free, and they're moving the whole time.
Different every time. Change the hiding place, change the trail.
Works with one child or a gang of cousins.
30 days to send it back if they don't love it.

Kids love it

A real bandit to catch. Stripy jumper, mask, the lot.
Footprints and clues that lead somewhere.
The arrest. Handcuffs with two real keys.
A money bag to recover and hand back.
"Great job, officer." Then again. And again.

The arrest was the best bit

"We played this with my 5-year-old granddaughter and enjoyed it. After the clues have led you from room to room, you track down the bandit fox and arrest him. The final arrest, complete with handcuffs, was the best bit."

Kasbar · Amazon review · plays it with a 5-year-old

Half an hour, easily

"It easily keeps children entertained for half an hour or more while encouraging them to think, explore and move around. Much more fun than another game of hide and seek."

Jonny · Amazon review · bought it for a 4-year-old niece

Better than a screen

"A brilliant way to get children moving, searching and solving clues rather than sitting in front of a screen. Including the fox plush and toy handcuffs makes completing the hunt feel more rewarding."

Chloe · Amazon review

The sneaky bit

It looks like playing. It's practice.

Mum kneeling beside a boy in a police vest as he points to a clue card on the bookshelf

Following clues in orderFirst this room, then that one. That's sequencing, and they don't know it.
Looking properlyUnder things. Behind things. Noticing what's out of place.
Taking turnsSomeone reads the card. Someone holds the cuffs. Someone hides the fox next.
Talking it through"He's not in the kitchen. Try the bedroom." Reasoning out loud, at four.

Our promise

30 days. Don't love it, send it back.

If they don't love it, get your money back within 30 days. No hassle. No complicated paperwork. We only want to win if you do.

Before you order

Questions

Do we need the police set to play? +

No. The hunt works on its own. But if they've got the uniform, they'll want it on for the arrest. If they haven't, the bundle above adds it for less than buying both.

How long does a game take? +

About two minutes to hide the fox and lay the cards. Then 20 to 30 minutes of hunting, depending on how sneaky you've been.

Can they play it more than once? +

Yes, that's the point. New hiding place, new trail, new game. The blank cards let you write your own clues, so it gets harder as they get better.

Does my 3-year-old need to read? +

No. The room cards are pictures and the footprint cards go on the floor. For the little ones, just hide the fox and let them search. The written clues are for the 6-to-7s.

Are the blank cards reusable? +

Yes. Write your clues in pencil so you can rub them out and write new ones next time.

Is this the same set as on Amazon? +

Yes. Same fox, same cards, same cuffs. Buying here means you deal with us directly, and the 30-day guarantee is ours, not a marketplace's.

Delivery and returns +

Order today and it's usually with you in two working days. Free UK delivery on orders over £50. If they don't love it, you have 30 days to send it back.
