The smartest way to play Clue. Track every suggestion, see exactly who holds what, and let the solver crack the case while you focus on the game. Clue Solver is an independent companion app for the classic mystery deduction board game. It replaces your paper detective notepad with a real-time deduction engine that reasons through every turn — tracking card ownership, resolving ambiguous clues, calculating envelope probabilities, and explaining exactly why each deduction was made. WHAT IT DOES - Records each suggestion and tracks which player showed a card (or didn't) - Automatically deduces card ownership and envelope contents from the game's logic - Shows live probabilities for every unknown card based on feasible solutions - Explains its reasoning in plain language so you can verify and learn - Detects contradictions when a turn entry doesn't fit the evidence - Provides a traditional detective notepad grid with tap-to-mark cells - Includes a freehand drawing layer for personal notes on top of the grid SETUP IN UNDER A MINUTE Choose your edition, enter player names and seat order, select your hand, and start investigating. Saved case files let you pause and resume across sessions. BUILT FOR REAL GAMES AT REAL TABLES This is not a digital board game. It's a tool for one player sitting at a physical table. Enter turns in seconds, glance at the Cards or Players tab for instant insight, and keep your strategy private. EDITIONS Supports Classic Clue and Alfred Hitchcock editions, with more editions coming soon. This app is not associated with, endorsed by, or affiliated with Hasbro or any board game manufacturer.
