Tired of an "us vs. them" mentality every time you play a game? Why not try a cooperative game, where all players work together to succeed? This is the final post in the National Game and Puzzle Week blog series. Want more game recs? Ask a staff member. Miss Emma and Mr Jeremy are especially board game obsessed!

Mrs. Plumpert's prized pot pie has gone missing, and it's now a chicken chase to crack the case! Move around the board to gather clues and then use the special evidence scanner to rule out suspects.

Race to the Treasure
