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! FEATURES - THE CLASSIC TUDOR MANSION – Play the beloved original board game, now rendered in stunning 3D animation and entirely ad-free! - A BRAND-NEW GAME MODE – Exclusive to the digital version of Clue, Ultimate Detective Mode lets you interrogate multiple characters at once. - MULTIPLE MODES – Compete against cutting-edge AI opponents that adapt to your skill level for the perfect game, or challenge detectives around the world. - ADDITIONAL ORIGINAL CONTENT – What happened after the shocking events of Tudor Mansion?

Read full description

Lummiku is the classic tile rummy game, redrawn by hand. Build runs (one color, numbers in order) and groups (one number, different colors) on a shared table. Rework anything already on the table to fit your tiles in: split a run, borrow a tile, reconnect the pieces. First to clear their rack wins. Made for one hand, in portrait: • Drop tiles anywhere on the felt, or drop a tile onto a set to join it • The table zooms to fit, with bigger tiles whenever there's room • Undo any move, or cancel the whole turn • Sort your rack into runs or groups with one tap Play your way: • Quick Play online against real players, for 2, 3 or 4. Free to play, and the winner earns coins • Watch the other players' moves live, and react with stickers • Private rooms with a 4-digit code for friends and family • Add friends with a friend code and invite them in one tap • Practice against 1 to 3 bots at three levels, with or without a timer • Knockout Cups: eight players, three rounds, one champion • The Daily Puzzle: one table, one turn, the same for everyone Level up, climb the rank road from Bronze to Master, keep your daily play streak alight, earn rewards on the season pass, and give your table a new look with tile and felt styles. Nothing in the shop helps you win. Save your progress with Apple and pick it up on a new phone. Free to play. A short ad may show between some games, and you can watch an optional ad for bonus coins. The Lummiku Pass removes the ads between games. Color-blind shapes on every tile, soft tile sounds, and haptics you can switch off.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Lummiku at Free against Clue's $4.99. Lummiku also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Clue's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
