It's kind of like a trophy at the end of the game for the winner. **Q: Can anyone share instructions please?** A: If you contact Ravensburger consumer services they will be able to email you the instructions. **Q: How do you play this game please?** A: It's very easy to play - suitable for 3 years upwards, and only takes approximately 10 minutes per game (great for short attention span!!) You just "hide" the little picture discs under the trees, then roll the dice and move around the board. The object of the game is to find The Gruffalo hiding under one of the trees. My 3 year old grandson LOVES playing this. **Q: What number does the dice go up to please?** A: 3. My toddler loved this game and the dice only going to 3 made it a bit easier. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 8 November 2025* Great game! Really helped my little understand, great introduction to board games, we love it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delightful Adventure in the Deep Dark Wood! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 June 2024* It's a delightful adventure that brings the beloved story to life in an interactive and engaging way. The game mechanics are simple enough for children to understand, yet the gameplay offers enough depth to keep players of all ages entertained. The beautiful artwork and high-quality components add to the overall charm of the game. Highly recommend for fans of The Gruffalo and families looking for a fun board game experience! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Short and sweet, but I expected smth a bit more clever *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 14 May 2019* Not a very exciting game for adults, but for us it’s more about quality time with the kids. My 3yo loves it. It only takes about 5 minutes to finish, so it’s alright for his attention span. My 6yo learnt the rules in a flash, and it’s not really challenging enough for her. I’m not a fan of Gruffalo, but this was the only board game suitable for toddlers that I could find, and it’s money well spent, I guess. The rules are a bit confusing and not very clever, I must say. Design-wise, it’s nice. The box doubles up as dice tray. The board is made of two parts that click together like a puzzle. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ravensburger The Gruffalo Deep Dark Wood Board Game for Kids Age 3 Years and Up - Gruffalo Toy - WOW!
