About the game
In Highly Suspicious 2-4 detectives are chasing the crook who's hiding in the park. The bord is tiltable, and by tilting the board in one direction all detectives and the crook will walk as far to this side as they can, until they hit an obstacle. The goal is to get your detective to land on a square next to the crook, thus catching him. Ages 6 and up A winner of the 1997 Concours International de Créateurs de Jeux de Société.
