## What is Clue?

The original murder mystery invites you to a dinner party to die for…

Step into the shoes of your favourite cast of classy criminal characters – Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Reverend Green, Professor Plum, Mrs Peacock and Dr Orchid – and explore the iconic rooms of the Tudor Mansion, rendered in stunning 3D like never before. 

Play against challenging AI opponents, or go online to challenge Clue/Cluedo fans from around the world. You can even set up a nostalgic games night with your friends and family in Private Multiplayer! 

Whodunit? With what weapon? Where? There’s six suspects, six weapons, nine rooms, and only one answer…

HOW TO PLAY CLUE: CLASSIC EDITION: 
1. Three cards are hidden away at the start of the game – these cards are the solution to the crime.
2. Each player gets three Clue Cards. These can’t be part of the solution, so they are automatically crossed off your clue sheet. 
3. Roll the dice and move your token around the board.
4. If you choose to enter a room, you can make a suggestion. Pick who you think committed the crime, with what weapon and where. 
5. Each player then takes it in turn to compare your suggestion against the cards they hold. If they have a card that features in your suggestion, they’ll tell you. 
6. Cross off any cards other players have shown you and whittle down your list of suspects.
7. When you are ready, you can make an accusation! If your accusation is wrong, you’re out of the game!

FEATURES
- CROSS-PLATFORM MULTIPLAYER – Play with your friends and family on PC, mobile and Nintendo Switch.

### 1/5 — Should be free to play

*2026-08-19, version 2.16.0*

Should be free to play

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-07-19, version 2.16.0*

I love Cluedo since I was a kid and this version is a very good version

### 5/5 — Very addictive!

*2026-07-13, version 2.16.0*

Just brings back that old school vibe.

### 3/5 — Needs lndscape

*2026-07-07, version 2.16.0*

It would be must better if the game was in landscape like the steam deck version so you can keep your sheet open instead of having to constantly open and close that tab

### 5/5 — Entertaining

*2026-07-06, version 2.16.0*

It’s a great game that uses the brain and keeps u on ur toes!

### 5/5 — Really fun!

*2026-06-29, version 2.16.0*

I never played much of the board game, but this is so fun! I like to play at night before bed 👍🏼 buy when it’s on sale though.

### 1/5 — Paid for Classic Board Bundle, now it’s gone

*2026-06-15, version 2.16.0*

I paid for the classic board bundle and all the characters that came with it (the board with the Art Deco rooms). I had the game offloaded from my iPad for a long while. I recently reinstalled the game and the bundle wouldn’t load for me. I went to settings and tapped on restore purchases, but it still wouldn’t load for me. The game even said that I already purchased that bundle. I updated the app, and now even that is gone, and it’s telling me to buy the classic board again! And what of the characters that came with it! I am being ripped off by Marmalade Studios!

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2026-06-15, version 2.16.0*

This game freezes too much. We tried playing it a couple times and it just becomes unresponsive in the middle of the game, this has happened multiple times we have never been able to finish the game because it always just freezes.

### 5/5 — scoreboard needed

*2026-05-04, version 2.16.0*

i wish their were levels so we can have a rating system and scoreboard

### 5/5 — Auto

*2026-04-06, version 2.16.0*

Just my favorite board game and I’m happy that it’s on a iPhone
