### 3/5 — App is buggy

*2026-02-28*

I’ve played the game a few times now and it’s been really fun, however we’ve noticed recently that once someone say they can “help” the person and the item they’ve said flash for everyone on the notebook for half a second, so everyone can see what the player has helped with. Other than this it’s been brilliant, however this does kill the game for me unfortunately

### 4/5 — Amazing 🤩

*2026-02-07*

This game is great, I get to play with my family and I highly recommend it

### 3/5 — Update to the Game May have Fixed the Error

*2026-01-22, version 1.0.11*

We purchased this game and no one can join for a local game. Everyone downloaded the app and we all entered the code and it keeps saying “this game does not exist” we’ve tried everything. Such a waste of time and money.

Update: the developer has responded that the game has been updated. The next time my friends and I get together we’ll test it out.

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2026-01-17*

Avant, cela fonctionnait très bien et depuis que j’ai changé de téléphone et re-télécharger l’app j’ai apparement le même problème que tout le monde : quand je rentré le code de jeu l’appli me met un message d’erreur « la partie n’existe pas ».

### 1/5 — Terrible 0/5 Stars

*2026-01-15, version 1.0.11*

Waste of data don’t download

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect to game

*2026-01-13*

Bought this game as a Christmas present for the family, and keep getting the error message saying the game doesn’t exist. Have tried redownloading app and getting several different codes on the switch. Hope support team can fix this

### 1/5 — Does Not Work

*2026-01-12, version 1.0.11*

It never acknowledges any of the games. Constantly responds with, “this game does not exist”.

### 1/5 — „Spiel existiert nicht„

*2026-01-12*

Die App findet nach wie vor nicht das lokale Spiel, was über den Zahlencode eingegeben werden muss. Bitte den Bug fixen! Konsole: Switch

### 1/5 — Nice, wenn es funktioniert

*2026-01-11*

Tolles Spiel, die App könnte noch ein wenig benutzerfreundlicher für Smartphones werden. Am Tablet ist es ganz gut. 

Großes Problem ist, dass es extrem häufig vorkommt, dass man keine Verbindung zur Konsole aufbauen kann, da das Spiel wohl nicht existieren würde.

Auch Neustarten der Geräte, neu installieren der Software, Netzwerkchecks etc. bringen keinen Erfolg. 

Als Fazit bleibt dann häufig die Enttäuschung.

### 1/5 — Can’t even play local multiplayer

*2026-05-19, version 0.0.13*

Put in the code and it just flashes the load screen then back to the code on the screen. Doesn’t get into the game. Doesn’t load beyond anything. Just has you permanently trying to punch in a code to get into a local multiplayer game. Lame.

This app sucks! It will not let me into the game. I have purchased the game for my ps4, and this is supposed to let me play, however it will not let me into the game. When entering the code given, I get a message saying the game doesn’t exist.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with the paid app

*2026-03-07*

My Daughter paid for the cluedo app thinking myself and the rest of the family could join her in a game, but when we enter the code she gets on her android phone it does not work on either the iPad or my android phone. Do not buy unless you want to play against the AI robots
