Since starting the PlayBook’d series, we've wanted to create a deduction game that was simple to learn, fun for all ages, and looked great on a bookshelf. Zoo Are You? lets two players secretly choose an animal and race to figure out their opponent's mystery animal by asking clever yes-or-no questions.

Every question helps eliminate possibilities, so choosing the right question at the right time can make all the difference.

Disguised as a Book This design blends right into your bookshelf, coffee table, or game shelf. But when you're ready to play, turn the page, open the book, and you're playing Zoo Are You?

How does it work? Hidden flippers hide in the covers. Flippers in the pages of the book hold printed cards for each of the animals, and a snap on cover locks the paper in place.

Where are the animal images? The character images are included as a printable PDF when you download. You just need to print them on paper and cut them out.

Easy Storage No bulky box. No loose cards scattered everywhere.

The covers hold together with magnets, keeping everything secure inside when the game is closed. The animal tiles store neatly inside the book, making it easy to pack away, display, or bring with you.

How to Play Each player secretly chooses one animal and places it in the hidden holder. Open all of the animal flippers on your board. Take turns asking yes-or-no questions to narrow down your opponent's mystery animal. Flip down animals that no longer match the answers you've received. When you think you know the answer, make your guess. If you're right, you win!
