As a big lover of a classic board game, Secret Identity is definitely one for the books. In a cross between ‘Guess Who?’, and the sticky note classic ‘Who Am I?’, Secret Identity provides an imaginative twist that can be enjoyed by all your friends and family.

Secret Identity, in a nutshell, is a guessing game where your aim is to guess other people’s characters whilst having yours guessed, made all the more fun by character cards which include UK celebrities. You are also provided with a certain number of hints that are represented by keys. Each round everybody receives a new character, but your hints are not replenished. This means that you have to be very cunning about when you use them. One thing that makes this game particularly good is that it is really simple to understand but is still compelling and fun for everyone, as you have decision-making to do with the extra tricks of the keys and the opening of the identity vault. This makes Secret Identity unique and more fun than other regular guessing games, as you and your friends get to build up various clues.

The graphics of the game are colourful and what you would expect of a board game, however in comparison to some other Funnyfox games, the design of the board could be a bit more exciting. However, the board itself is not perhaps the main part of the game, as the secret identity boards are more imaginative and designed as vaults hiding a big secret. The use of the keys to unlock the answer is therefore a quirky feature.

Overall, I enjoyed playing this game as its special twists and advancements on old classics means that people from all generations can have fun, encouraging laughs from all around. Subsequently, Secret Identity possesses its own secret in creating a lively atmosphere and encouraging the watchful observer in all of us!
