The classic immersive tabletop board game where the murder of Boddy Black must be solved, has been reimagined  for a new generation.

Hasbro, Inc. has announced that the iconic mystery-solving board game Cluedo, known in the US as Clue, has received a refresh that combines classic Cluedo gameplay with new takes on the original murder mystery storyline, an intriguing diverse cast, highly-stylised game pieces and the glamorous Tudor Mansion. The next chapter of Cluedo is now available at most major retailers.

This Cluedo murder mystery game is beautifully reimagined with a dazzling cast, luxurious setting and fresh storyline. Players can choose to play as Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Mayor Green, Chef White, Solicitor Peacock, or Professor Plum and race against other players to crack the case by gathering evidence and narrowing down choices. Each playable Cluedo suspect has been thoughtfully revamped to reflect a new character, with a meaningful backstory and motive that will engross players in the world of Cluedo.

“For years, the inspired mysteries of Cluedo have excited fans across the globe through countless game night interrogations, cult classic entertainment offerings and iconic pop culture fandom moments, and today we have a game that more accurately reflects the diversity of its players,” said Adam Biehl, SVP & general manager, Hasbro Gaming. “This next chapter of Cluedo invites even more gameplay immersion as players see themselves in a sophisticated fictional murder mystery and crime solving experience.”

The new Cluedo board expands to a 20 by 20-inch gameplay canvas, giving players a bird’s-eye overview of the intricate Tudor Mansion. The entire box set is designed to resemble Boddy Black’s desk, which is covered with blackmail evidence he’s acquired – giving players a chance to discover more intel to unfold the mystery. The generic-coloured pawns and simplistic murder weapon pieces, are replaced with sculpted character movers made of metal with golden finish and richly textured weapons for a more captivating and aesthetically pleasing feel.

In 2023 and beyond, Cluedo stories will continue to expand even further through new games and virtual experiences featuring new twists and turns and encounters transporting fans to another world.

For over 70 years, Cluedo has remained a timeless, textured and immersive crime solving experience. Today, it is one of the leading board games in the world, having sold more than 150m boards and having inspired experiences and entertainment from escape rooms and walking tours, to the cult classic 1985 Paramount film Cluedo. Soon fans will encounter even more mysteries with the new Cluedo live-action feature film adaptation from eOne and 20th Century Studios starring Ryan Reynolds and the animated Cluedo series from Fox Entertainment, eOne, and Bento Box Entertainment, both in development.
