Many recommend buying on sale due to high full price and costly DLC. [1][2][3] Some criticize the need to purchase additional maps for the base game and issues with online multiplayer. [4][5][6]

My kids played Clue around Christmas last year and enjoyed it, so I ended up purchasing this version of the game for them to play on their own. I'm writing on behalf of my daughter who would whole-heartedly recommend this game, but I can't. What is falsely advertised as the "Base Game" will not let you play unless you spend an additional $3.99 to purchase any 1 of the maps, with each map costing the same amount. …

I'm loving this game. It's a great time waster when I want to play games but nothing is grabbing me. Plus, it makes me think. The graphics are great. I have only played off-line and the computer players are nicely challenging. Also, I get to cry "J'Accuse!" at the end of each game, and that's way too much fun...

Never played Clue before in my life before getting this game, and I absolutely love it. It's fun and taught me how the game works. I cannot speak on playing multiplayer with randos, but I very much enjoy the game with friends and even singleplayer against bots. 10/10 if you enjoy clue.

ue Classic is a clean and modern digital version of the original board game, and it keeps everything that makes Clue fun. The game follows the same idea as the classic tabletop version. You move through the rooms of the mansion, make suggestions, eliminate suspects, and try to solve the mystery before anyone else does. It feels familiar if you grew up playing it, but the digital format makes it easier to manage …

absolutely do not recommend for full price. $22 CAD is ridonkulous, but its often onsale for less than $6 so get it then. I got it to play with friends and I do play by myself sometimes lmao its a fun little solo time killer that isnt a huge commitment but you also have to. well. think.

Players who liked Clue/Cluedo: Classic Edition talk about fun and addictive gameplay with friends or solo; those who didn't talk about full price is too high; best bought on sale. Which matters more to you?

I can put a timer on my watch and a player can go well past 30 minutes without playing and it does not kick them out. It is literally upsetting. Twice tonight it happened in games back to back. Kick people out!!! Put a timer on the game for how long they have to guess and hit continue/end turn. Its ridiculous.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You get one map and 6 characters, everything else is behind a paywall. Matches are painfully slow with no way to speed things up, which would be an incredibly beneficial feature. Online multiplayer is buggy and made me have to force close the game numerous times. Would not recommend this. There should have been a lot more base game content than offered.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was going to joke that the C stands for "Clue," and that pressing it immediately starts a session of the classic board game Clue/Cluedo...but honestly, putting a dedicated hint button on a controller and calling it a Clue or "C" button is a very Nintendo thing to do. Super Guide, evolved.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This version has some very difficult AI to beat, should you use all 'hard' AI. Using the common clues, it is still both a game of logic and chance. I would like to have seen more rooms and weapons in the DLC (e.g. the 1988 Clue "Master Detective" version) instead of variations on the same board. The game software has some glitches -- nothing game breaking -- just annoying. It seems to forget I have the whole game and offers me the DLC once in a while.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was made in an hour to sell expensive DLC packs to people who wanna dab on their poor friends. Every room plays these annoying background noises and the only sound options are music and SFX, so if you want to be able to hear the game at all then you have to hear everything. In multiplayer, every player has to press the continue button at the end of every turn and there is no indication of who hasn't pressed it, so you just have to ask "who hasn't pressed the button" every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So fun! I'm playing solo with all other 5 characters as AI on hard mode and it's actually hard! They can definitely win. I won several too. Keeps you on your toes to try your best. I have yet to try with friends. The notepad is helpful but I also have my own personal notes going to keep track of other's suggestions. It's just like the board game, which always been my favorite one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Way more addictive than it has any right to be. A slow atmospheric multiplayer experience for the thinking gamer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tried playing with friends online In all of the matches, at a certain point, the game freezes, and it just shows everyone as disconnected. Don't recommend in the state that it is in.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cluedo is a fantastic game about murder, deduction, and watching my friend Cecil experience the worst luck known to mankind. Every game starts with Cecil confidently saying, “I’ve got this.” Then he rolls a 1 and a 2, and suddenly he can’t even make it to a room before everyone else has already solved half the murder. At this point, I’m not even trying to solve the murder. I’m just waiting to see what fresh disaster happens to Cecil next. 10/10. Great mystery game. 0/10 for Cecil’s…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's an OK game but the overall concept is straight-forward and simple, and as such, boring, especially by the clue-cards are filled automatically, unlike as it would be if played with the actual table top game. Long story short, TL;DR and more or less, the game mechanics is, 3 decks of cards are shuffled: Person, Weapon, Room. Everyone pulls one of each, so one of each remains, that's the who, where and how did of the murder. The game play is going places and making other players reveal…

neutral · AI labelView post →People stopped playing it and the characters are for a lot of money not worth it at all
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not only is this a money drain, asking you to pay extra for all the different locations and characters, it's also poorly constructed. Note taking is the most important thing in Clue, and it's not included here for some bizarre reason. Also, it does not include History which is crazy to me, and it has automated everything to the point where I only need to click the Continue button and that's it. Play Clue Classic (2008) instead - much, much better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The full price is ridiculous, but for a good sale, it's a solid version of the classic mansion murder mystery board game. The game mechanics work flawless, cross-play (between Steam and some Android phones is what I tested) works great and the artwork is great. You get only a base mansion and 6 characters, and you can pay ridiculous amounts to unlock more, but there's really no reason to do pay for any of those cosmetic extras.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want to play Clue online for the sake of playing it, this is it. The graphics and mechanics are cheap and uninteresting. The vibe for the game is completely lost in this digital form. I opted to not buy any of the bonus skins or characters because the art "style" is really not worth the value. It feels entirely like a quick cash grab, lacking any whimsy or substance. There are also arbitrary achievements, such as roll the dice 2000 times, which makes for a painstakingly tedious…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No wifi or data connections detected. I expect that game with tag "shared screen" could be played on single PC. But this requires additional app for phone. QR code to download app doesn't work. Multiplayer game with friends by passcode doesn't work too.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's Clue and even at a deep discount, its just not worth it. The game turns take a long time and there is no setting to speed it up. The graphics don't really do anything interesting to improve on playing on a board game - no animated characters, accusations, anything really. And it is full of microtransactions to attempt to make it more interesting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I suck at Clue, but the more you play it, the better you get and you can start finding loopholes to trick the bots in singleplayer into confirming your answer. I have not played the online or multiplayer modes yet, but I enjoy what I have played and the medium difficulty bot kicked my butt so it humbles you quickly. Clue will remind you not to have hubris. I think it would help explain the game to people who have never played the physical board game version and if they ever did decide to,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like clue, this game is fine, I'm sure you'll enjoy playing with people too far to play in person with. If you're new to clue this game is rough, the in-game UI is terrible and confusing, plus this game only cares about selling overpriced DLC

As board game is one of the worst (but one of the most famous) since there is little to no skill involved: you just move (almost) whenever you want, make a hypothesis ("who, what, where"), the other players check if they have the related cards in their hands, and if so, they tell you. After some repeated actions (before the other players…

neutral · AI labelView post →The idea is cool but if anyone has a moment where they drop out due to losing wifi for a sec, phone lagging, or swapping apps to read a message or even getting a call on some older phones it just kicks everyone out of the game, there really needs to be a way to continue a game if you get kicked out bc as it is its just unplayable sadly
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm really only downvoting this because the achievements are ridiculous. There's one to roll dice 1000 times and another to roll 2000 times. I finished every other achievement in under 500 rolls. I don't think the devs have any clue just how few rolls are needed to finish a game of Clue. I'll have to play 200+ more games just to do the rolls necessary to get to 2000 rolls probably.

This card is clearly an allusion to the Clue/Cluedo board game, but it's not Clue-branded and could plausibly fit in most settings. The ambiguity is part of the fun.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Marmalade's adaptation translates the classic board game well, but struggles with public multiplayer dynamics. The Gameplay (7/10) preserves the nostalgic deduction mechanics, elevated by an excellent automated clue sheet that tracks revealed evidence for you. The Presentation & Visuals (8/10) feature stylish 3D boards, animated characters, and atmospheric music. However, Multiplayer & Matchmaking (5/10) is heavily impacted by players leaving games early, leaving AI bots to finish the match. ➕…
