The classic [[Fair Play Whodunit]] mystery, where you have to discern Whodunit, where he done it, and with which weapon he... done it ''with.''
Created in 1949 in Britain, ''Cluedo'' (''Clue'' in North America) is ''the'' iconic mystery board game. Dr. Black (Mr. Boddy in North America) has been murdered in his own mansion and the six people that were present are now considered suspects. Players take the role of any of the six suspects and receive cards containing illustrations of the suspects, the rooms or the weapons. One card of each category is placed in an envelope. To play, the suspects must enter a room in the mansion and make a suggestion such as, "It was '''Miss Scarlett''' in the '''kitchen''' with the '''lead piping'''." A different player can reveal a card that matches the suggestion to disprove it. To win the game, a player must make an accusation that matches all three cards contained in the envelope. If the accusation is wrong, the player must sit out for the rest of the game. Note that a player can accuse his own character if he believes himself to be the murderer. [[Fridge Logic|It doesn't make much sense if you think about it,]] though [[Fridge Brilliance|they could have had amnesia]], leading to a [[Tomato in the Mirror]] moment.
The popularity of the game has caused it to be remade into a plethora of different locations and decades over the years. It was popular enough to have its own [[Clue (film)|film]], book series, video game adaptations, a game show and a [[Teen Drama]] [[Clue (TV series)|miniseries]] on [[The Hub]]. A sequel was released in 1988 (and re-released in 2018) called ''[[Clue Master Detective]]'', basically the same game but larger, with more suspects, weapons, and rooms. The film itself (starring [[Tim Curry]]) is considered a cult classic. It has also had many [[Film Fic]] style adaptations, such as with characters from ''[[The Simpsons]]'', [[Disney]] villains, and ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' characters replacing the main cast.
Compare [[Ten Little Murder Victims]], ''[[And Then There Were None]]''.
