Our take on Clue/Cluedo: Classic Edition
Every game hides one suspect, one weapon, and one room before dealing the remaining cards, making deduction from partial information the defining structure.
What is Clue/Cluedo: Classic Edition?
Investigate a murder in a locked mansion with six suspects, six weapons, and nine rooms.
Up to six players can take the roles of Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Doctor Orchid, Reverend Green, Mrs. Peacock, or Professor Plum. At the beginning of each game, one suspect, weapon, and room are hidden, while the remaining cards are distributed among the players. Dice determine movement between rooms, where players make suggestions and receive shown cards from anyone holding one of the named cards.
A virtual cluesheet records revealed cards, with options to add personal marks. Players must reach the relevant room before making an accusation; an incorrect accusation removes that player from the game. Single-player games use customisable AI suspects, while online and private multiplayer are available for up to 6 players.
