## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the nut for can find the reason in the instructions?**
A: There is no real purpose to the Nut really - other than the part of the story at the end "All was quiet in the deep dark wood, the mouse found a Nut and the Nut was good." 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Short and sweet, but I expected smth a bit more clever
*by T***S on 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.
