Read the full game description

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.
