Step into new Crime Scenes. Use your skills of deduction to unravel the mystery and find out who did it, with what weapon, where. It’s the original crime-solving classic with new investigation formats exclusive to the video game. Solve every case and become the detective you want to be!
The game stays true to the classic board game, allowing players to take on the roles of different suspects and use deduction to determine the who, what, and where of the murder. You can play solo against AI opponents, locally with friends, or online against other players.
{'Classic Mode': 'This mode recreates the traditional Clue/Cluedo gameplay, where you take turns moving around the game board, making suggestions, and gathering clues to solve the mystery.', 'Ultimate Detective Mode': 'In this mode, you only roll a single die and cannot move through the hallways. Instead, each player starts with a "key" that allows them to secretly view one of the other players\' cards.', 'Clue Cards Mode': 'This mode introduces a deck of special Clue Cards that you draw when you roll specific die results. These cards can reveal additional information about the rooms, weapons, or suspects.'}
The core gameplay revolves around using deductive reasoning to narrow down the possible solutions. You make suggestions about the suspect, weapon, and location, and other players can reveal cards from their hand to disprove those suggestions. The game also features a new "interrogation" mechanic, allowing you to directly question other suspects to gather more information about their involvement in the crime.
As you progress through the game, you can unlock various rewards and customization options, such as different character outfits, themed dice, and additional case files to investigate.
Compared to previous video game adaptations, the AI opponents are more challenging and strategic in their play. The online multiplayer functionality also appears to be more stable and reliable, according to player reports.
