📖 About This Game
Clue Master Detective is an expanded take on the classic whodunit, inviting sleuths to navigate a sprawling country estate and its grounds in pursuit of a clever culprit. With ten suspects (including Miss Peach, Monsieur Brunette, Madame Rose, and Sergeant Gray), eight weapons (from Revolver and Poison to the new Horseshoe), and twelve murder locations both indoors and out—plus special “Snoop Spaces” that let you probe multiple rooms—you’ll need every ounce of deductive skill to solve the case.
On your turn, move your token through secret passages and open corridors, gathering clues by making strategic suggestions. Use information gained from other players’ cards to eliminate impossibilities one by one. When you’re confident, make your final accusation—naming the suspect, weapon, and location—to claim victory. With more people, places, and poisons than ever before, Clue Master Detective delivers heightened intrigue, richer strategy, and more mayhem in every game.
