## What is Clue?

Join fellow detectives all over the world in the official digital board game version of Clue! Gather crucial evidence, interrogate suspects and solve the original murder mystery.

Follow Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, Chef White, Solicitor Peacock and Mayor Green through the iconic Tudor Mansion, unlocking their motives and alibis as you go. 

Enjoy Clue the way you remember it in Classic Mode, or jump in for a quick game with Clue Cards mode. Alternatively, if you want to really test your sleuthing skills, try a new investigation format available exclusively to Clue – Ultimate Detective.

In Ultimate Detective Mode, everyone answers suggestions at the same time…but secretly! 

Face your suspects in a direct interrogation as you rely on your skills of deduction to get to the truth. Experience the mystery, solve the murder and become a top-tier detective!

HOW TO PLAY CLUE: 
1. Three cards are dealt face-down and set aside – this is the solution to the crime!
2. Everyone is dealt three cards. These are automatically crossed off your clue sheet, as they can’t be part of the solution. 
3. Roll the dice and move around the board. 
4. When you enter a room, you can make a suggestion – select who you think the murderer is, what weapon they used and where the crime happened. 
5. Other players will then aim to disprove your suggestion; if one of your suggestions matches a card in their hand, they show you that card to disprove it. 
6. Use your clue sheet to keep track of which characters, weapons and rooms have been disproven. 
7. Think you’ve figured it out? It’s time to make an accusation! Be careful though – if you’re right, you win, but if you are wrong, you’re out!

### 4/5 — Game takes up to much data

*2026-07-25, version 1.0.14*

This version of clue is very nice, i think it’s very good, but a major issue after I downloaded was extreme lag, this became a  worse issue over time until I had to offload the app. Will you please consider optimizing and removing unnecessary data please?

### 3/5 — Honest review

*2026-07-04, version 1.0.10*

This game is fun but it would be better if your running scores were listed like in the first version of Clue. What’s the point of earning winning scores when they aren’t tracked or used after each game? No incentive to keeping playing to try and get highest scores? Kinda boring with no points competition.

### 1/5 — Price for other broads over 200 bucks naw I’m good

*2026-06-04, version 1.0.10*

To unlock everything over 200 bucks naw

### 3/5 — Abuso.

*2026-05-29, version 1.0.10*

En la
Política de privacidad, por casualidad no querrán nuestra sangre, y ADN, me parece un abuso que recopilen información personal de cada persona que quiera adquirir su juego, que les interesa a ustedes mi IP o rastrearme, u otras cosas, lástima que adquirí el juego sin antes leer las políticas de privacidad y uso. Osea ????

### 5/5 — The Best Mystery Game Ever!!!

*2026-05-26, version 1.0.10*

I pre-ordered it when I heard it was coming out and I’ve enjoyed every part of it since it came out. The gameplay is easy to understand and most of the time I’ve figured out who the killer is, what they used, and where it all went down. Every location was perfect and all the weapons fit with each location like a glove.

### 1/5 — It’s Not Bad But Gets Old Quick

*2026-05-20*

Essentially, the game will force you to escalate the difficulty level by gradually becoming mind-numbingly easy the more you play, but once you get to hard, buckle up.  Hard level playing against AI is you getting screwed over and over again.  If you play with the clue cards, your cards will get called within the first four turns,  while  AI characters will go the entire game revealing nothing.   AI will somehow know the room without anyone having ever even been in the room (and with multiple rooms having never been entered).  I’ve played games where the AI character solved the murder in the second round having only ever entered one room and the solution involved a character, weapon, and room that had not even been used yet.  Hard should be actually challenging, not just AI having impossible knowledge and winning the game in under five minutes.  Save your money and time.

### 4/5 — Characters

*2026-05-05, version 1.0.10*

I wish the characters were animated instead of just being these little ponds and crashing into walls. It looks stupid.

### 5/5 — Wonderful Game !

*2026-05-04, version 1.0.10*

I love CLUE. It reminds me of the Clue Classic board game that I had used to play when I was a kid.

### 3/5 — New clue

*2026-04-25, version 1.0.10*

Interesting and different but hard to follow

### 5/5 — Game freezes

*2026-03-20, version 1.0.7*

I do love this game and have invested I just don’t like when it freezes during gameplay or at the end. This makes it hard when it comes to hitting goals.
