In 1946 Anthony E. Pratt a solicitors' clerk from
Birmingham and his wife visited the firm of Waddington's Games to present
their idea and prototype of a mystery detection game to the game
manufacturers. They met and played the game with some Waddington's employees
while the firm's managing director looked on.
Fortunately for all of us, the people at Waddington's liked what they saw
and agreed to produce the game. Within 3 years it became a family favourite
and has been so ever since.
The classic detective board game, can be played
with between 3 to 6 of your family and friends. Colonel Mustard did it
with the candlestick in the library. Yes you guessed it, its a murder
mystery game. Play detective and solve a dastardly crime in a brand new
Cluedo mystery. There's been a murder at Blacwell Grange and it's up to you
to crack the case! Who dunnit? Where? And with what? Search the rooms for
clues, examine the weapons and discover the identity of the killer!
- Miss Scarlett
- Col. Mustard
- Mrs. White
- Rev. Green
- Miss Peacock
- Professor Plum
You will be dealt some card. (Don't let the other players see these cards!)
You can immediately eliminate these characters, rooms and weapons from your
investigation.
During the game, move from room to room to make your enquiries. Once inside
a room, make a "suggestion" on your turn by calling a character and a weapon
into the room. You can then question your fellow players as, one by one, you
ask them to reveal if they have a card that matches the room you're in or
the character and weapon you've named in your suggestion. Your turn ends
when one of these is matched by another player's card. Keep note of your
findings and carry on playing.
By clever deduction, you'll eventually be ready to make an accusation.
Will you be first to reveal the answer to the
mystery?
