Read the full game description
A Carnivore Did It! is a cooperative deduction game built from compact logic-grid mysteries. A case specifies how many culprits are hiding among the suspects and how many statements are truthful. Players place the chosen animal cards and statement cards, then test claims such as whether another suspect is telling the truth or whether a carnivore committed the crime. Every clue constrains the rest of the case, and only one solution fits all of them. Twenty difficulty levels grow from quick introductory puzzles to seven-suspect investigations with conditional statements, multiple culprits, and trickier truth patterns. A decoder helps prepare and check cases, while a campaign links investigations and rewards efficient solutions. With two modes and two thousand configurations, it works as a solo brainteaser or a lively one-to-five-player discussion.
