Stop Thief is a family game of deduction for 2-4 players. An invisible suspect commits a crime. Only the sounds they make give them away. Listen to the clues and find out where they are hiding. Play cards from your unique deck to move around the board and sneak through a window. Once you have the suspect pinned down, swoop in and make the arrest.
The obvious first step in this remake of this game was to remove the electronic device and turn it into an app. This provides better sound quality and a more dynamic platform for different game modes. The next step was to do away with the roll-and-move mechanic and, in general, take away some of the luck and add a healthy dose of strategy. By replacing the dice with decks of movement cards, asymmetric card games are also possible, which increases fun and replayability. Game effects were also added to the suspect cards to make things even more exciting.
