About Who Took the Cake?
Who Took the Cake? is a cosy detective game for the family. The game hides three secret cards: who ate the birthday cake, which room it happened in, and what the thief used. The rest of the cards are dealt out, and now it’s all about working out the answer by moving around the house and asking questions.
When you make a guess, the others in turn must show you one of the cards you asked about – but only to you. You tick it off in your secret notebook, and bit by bit there are fewer options left. The suspects are Uncle Bent, Granny Inger, Little Viggo, Cousin Sofie, Bamse the Dog and Neighbour Holm.
Play on one iPad that you pass around, with a cover screen hiding the secrets. Or use the TV as the game board, while each player sees their cards and notebook on their own phone. The game is for humans only, so you always play against each other.
How to play
- Choose One screen or TV + phones, and type in your names.
- Roll the step die and move up to as many rooms as it shows.
- Guess who and with what. The room is the one you’re standing in. The next player who has one of the cards secretly shows you one.
- Tick off your notebook. When you’re sure, make an accusation. If you’re right, you win.
