Clue: The Classic Mystery Game Wiki

I love playing this! It’s very well done, and very true to the original board game. I really like how the scorecard automatically updates as you play— that’s an awesome feature! The scorecard also has options for note-taking I never thought of, and I’m sure that’ll sharpen my skills when playing the physical board game, too. Even tho I have requests, I still gave this 5 stars — that’s how good it is! My requests would just be the cherry on top.🙂 My requests: 1) I’d like to be able to go back to my score card after it’s been solved — I’m interested to see how close I came myself; 2) I’d like to be able to friend the ppl I’ve played with; 3) The animations could speed up a ‘little’ for my taste; 4) Regarding the cards I have, which are automatically crossed off on the scorecard and blocked from getting notes, I‘d like that changed so I can put notes down for those.

I found this game town of Salem were you get roles that do stuff and you have to find the mafia or the money costing version coven and you can also chat so please make a game like that and change up the roles a little bit and please do not make bad words available in chat please make a game like this :) because I know this company is really good at making mystery games and just games in general so s suggest you make it free but add in game purchases tip ( make the game free and if they really like they will probably buy your in game purchases but don’t make to many in game purchases because if you have to many your customer or gamer will get upset ) so please take my advice and this game is really worth the buy I also suggest to buy more of these games so this company can make more awesome games like this and also just buy then because they are really cool awesome and fun

I read all the reviews before I bought the App. Played the first game and loved it. After playing many more games I bought the very expensive clue boards and characters pack. I am not sorry I did, it really makes the game so much better. Now for some board suggestions: 1. Outer space theme...with an alien as a weapon 2. Spy theme, like James Bond. 3. Caribbean Cruise 4. Christmas theme..top priority for sales guaranteed 5. High school reunion 6. Island paradise 7. College campus murder 8. Zoo murder 9. Remote Antarctic research lab 10. Remote summer camp by a lake 11. Murder at a wedding...with scarlet as a bride of course. 12. Underwater research station 13. 50’s, 70’s, 80’s themed event 14. Theme park murder 16. Death in the sky... on an airplane 17. Adventure/ Tomb raiding expedition...maybe in the pyramids. 18. Death on the Nile...river boat murder. ...and don’t forget lots more great costumed characters. This makes the game extra special and adds a ton of replay value.

A few things that annoy me: One is whenever I play online (and for the record my wifi is fine) why does it allow other players to delay for SO LONG? Its not fair because whenever I take “too long” it times me and then just decides for me which I understand when you are playing with people online but why is that every time an online opponent takes “too long” they don’t get limited time? They just get to delay however long they want? When it lags like that it drains my battery and sometimes they take so long I end up quitting. Or sometimes it will freeze. Second is there should be some kind of snooze when a player leaves the game. I play on my phone and sometimes need to check something outside of the app but if I am playing online I have to make sure I am not away from the app or it freezes and kicks me off and I have to start over. There is a game called evil apples that just snoozes a player from a game if they leave the app or take too long to respond. HINTS: I understand how to use the hints in single player. But I noticed when I play online that other players are able to block me. So unfair! I only have the option to use hints if its single player but why can’t I use the hints like “blocking” when playing online??? But other players can? Come on!

EDIT: I shaved off a star because the multi-player, which came out a month ago, is really slow and wonky. It seems like there’s a 50/50 chance the app will freeze whenever I play multi-player; at first I thought it was just slow players, but it lagged repeatedly at the same moments in the game. The single-player version remains fantastic, however (but they need to add some sound effects to some of the rooms in the Castle Vampire version). Yes! A proper app that lets me play Clue whenever I want to! I love to interface, the graphics are great, and the note-taking functions are superb. Really smooth, handsome game! I play with the music off and the sound effects on, and it's great. If I could shave half a star off of this review, I would for one reason: the game allows you to purchase additional characters, but for some reason you can't play a "challenging" version of the game with all eleven suspects; it only allows six suspects for every game. I think that would be fun, as well as an update like the old "Master Detective" version of the same game. Also, some more "skins" or alternate versions of the board, please! Overall, good stuff, I'm really glad it's finally here and I'm glad I can exercise my brain with some six-player games, be they with actual human beings or AI.

This is an outstanding achievement. The rooms and characters are beautifully rendered, and if you want you can purchase different versions and themes. I also appreciate that they don’t try to gouge you - the game is complete and ready to go with the basic purchase. But the real achievement here is the functionality. CLUE is a very tricky game to design in a digital format and they have produced a smart and logical and interconnected interface and functionality. Last and not least, the computerized characters are able to ask for suspects, weapons or Rooms they already have in their hands. This is critical to the game, and older versions weren’t programmed with such depth. Thus if the computer asked to see Miss Scarlett, you knew the computer didn’t have it, so all strategy was lost. Well done ladies and gents!!!

This game is great! My least favorite thing about the actual board game was that you couldn't go into rooms that other players are blocking the doorway to.... but in the app, that doesn't happen!! The only thing I don't like is that there are as I call "cheat cards" that you can use but you have to pay for, which means the higher you pay, the greater your ability to manipulate your chances of winning, but, since you only play computer players and not online with other people, I guess it doesn't make too much of a difference. I haven't paid any additional money other than the download price, and I have full access to all I need to enjoy the game. All the extra purchases are cosmetic and unnecessary. Overall: awesome game, love it!

I love this game. Clue has been my favorite game since I was a little kid, and it does not disappoint now more than 20 years later. I go through spells where I play this game for hours at a time, it’s just so fun. Especially the online component, which brings in more challenge than the computers do in offline mode. My one gripe for this game is that it is played in portrait mode. I had an iPad Pro, one of the original ones that is gigantic, so it’s hard to lay in bed and balance it in front of me while I play. I wish the game had landscape mode, so the iPad could be held a little more naturally. I use my iPad almost exclusively in landscape mode, anyway, it’s just this one game I have to flip it for. Please, please, please make it in landscape.

***UPDATE: After reaching out to the Developer team last week I was informed and update was coming in the next few days and then saw that it was available the next morning. Updated the app, and now I am having so much fun with my friends! A great developer team with very quick response and they even gave me a list of troubleshooting procedures to get it fixed! Thanks for the amazing game. I am already addicted to multi player! **************** ORIGINAL REVIEW: Multiplayer option to host an online game for you and your friends does not work. Was literally the sole reason me and a friend bought this game in such hard times during COVID-19. Please refund me or fix the game ASAP. I am on lockdown in my own home and I’m going crazy.

I just bought the game and have played it nonstop for a day. Honestly, a lot of fun and a very smooth game. They make it simple and easy for note taking by making it automatic and also allowing you to make your own notes, with a few symbols. However, one con about the game that I found after playing for a day, is that there isn’t that rewarding feeling after the strategic puzzling you’ve gone through to win. Really wish there was some reward incentives other than seeing your name climb the leaderboard. I understand that there are in app purchases for better game cosmetics, however, I think you should unlock some cosmetics to be earned as a reward incentive. For example, unlocking certain characters with the stars you earn instead of using it towards the leadership board. I think it would be highly unlikely that someone would pay $2.99 for one character, when they can pay $5.99 for a character pack or $6.99 for a theme pack with the characters and board included. You can also add unlocking other things with stars like profile pictures, profile frames, and character frames. I took a look at the latest update which was 5 months ago. I hope you guys really take this into consideration for the next update, as I believe this could make the game so much better and so much more addicting!

I love this game, it is so fun, and the graphics are amazing! I also love the new maps, like tropical mystery, Sherlock, Hollywood studio, and all the others! Tropical mystery is my favorite! I just need to talk about some glitches. The first one is about the AIs when playing with friends. I feel like sometimes, if you put it on easy they are harder, but if you put it in hard they are easier. And sometimes, no matter what difficulty, they get lucky sometimes and guess it too early. The last thing is a small glitch that has been going on for probably only about a week, but when I try to play with friends, I create a game, but when people join, they don’t show up for the person who start the game, and it is hard to get everyone into the game. And sometimes when the game finally starts, after a couple turns, the game freezes and it might say that the person left the game. I might like this to be fixed because I like to play this game with my friends online! Thank you for reading this!

This game is so fun. I loved Clue as a kid and have really, really loved playing it as an adult! My only criticism is that the only options for playing online are 3 or 6 players. I'm guessing this is the keep the cards even? I originally thought that the option "any number" meant literally any amount of players... After many, many games I've decided that isn't the case. I strongly feel as if people choose the any amount of player option, they should and would be okay with an unequal number of cards. This would just allow for more variety in difficulty and strategy. I see how deciding who had more vs less cards would be difficult.. Perhaps the spin to see who goes first could happen prior to drawing cards and the cards could be distributed starting with who goes first? Whatever the solution, I would love to see this option added!

Solo is great, while multiplayers needs some improvement such as: -Kicking out those who stall every turn or who disconnect. We have to wait minutes just for them to make a move or hit continue since they are either trolling, taking too long, or disconnected. A normal 6 person game that usually takes 20 minutes took 40 minutes. -Awards and permanent score system is needed. We play games just for the leaderboard to reset, so whats the point of playing 100+ games just to have it reset? We need some incentive more than just a temporary leaderboard. Why not have a permanent leaderboard or level system to unlock new characters or boards that you can’t just buy? -Chat system is needed. Maybe not a full on chat system, but pre-filled phrases would be great. -Final accusation troll fix. Some people just hit final accusation to troll and then back out. -Final accusation bug. Whenever the timer runs out and you hit the submit button at the same time, your map turns into a blue background map, unable to see what’s going on until it’s your turn. -Different game modes. It would be cool to have different game modes such as a speed game, “can’t suspect your own card” game, etc. -Different music. The looping for some map music soundtracks get a little annoying. More music for those who don’t want to mute. This a good game and I really want it to be great. Hope you take my suggestions into thought. Thank you.

The single player game is very enjoyable, although like some other reviewers have already pointed out, it would be a good idea to roll dice for the starting icon in a single-player game, as frequently you can end up doing all of the work for the AI and losing by round 3 due to bad luck. It’s also really unrealistic that the AI always guesses correctly, even in cases where they could not have eliminated a suspect, weapon, or room. The multiplayer is still a bit buggy (and I agree that the prizes for winning seem meager), but other people have gone into that in much greater detail than I need to. My main purpose in writing this review is to let the developers know that these latest updates completely obliterated my tokens, my game cards, my score and my ranking. That’s not cool, folks. I’m sure you’re fully aware how much time your players invest in this. To have a lot of work wiped out due to an update is genuinely discouraging.
