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 M***S on 8 November 2025* Great game! Really helped my little understand, great introduction to board games, we love it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kids Gruffalo Board Game *by R***E on 17 November 2025* A great game, kids love it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun little game *by C***L on 23 July 2020* Fun little game for any fan of the Gruffalo. The game itself is very quick and very simple. So the age rating is on point. The main pull is the theme, i.e. the Graffalo. The game does a good job of gamifying the Gruffalo story. Solidly made. Good buy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ravensburger The Gruffalo Deep Dark Wood Board Game for Kids Age 3 Years and Up - Gruffalo Toy - WOW!
