Clue VCR Mystery Game (1985)

About this game

The classic whodunit brought to life. Over-the-top acting and scripting along with a clever deduction game in the tradition of the original Clue. 18 different cases (games) hosted by the butler, Mr. Didit. Includes characters from both the original and the Master Detective versions. Additional twist: not only must you deduce who murdered whom with what weapon in what room, but you must also discover who's who because each player plays one of the suspects, and each case involves more than one murder (not just Mr. Boddy dies in this version.) A sequel, Clue II: Murder in Disguise VCR Mystery Game, was produced in 1988.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 10.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
